I am attempting to configure Discourse which is running through google cloud to use SMTP through G Suite. I am editing the “discourse.conf” found in “/opt/bitnami/apps/discourse/htdocs/config” to contain the following information;

```
smtp_address = "smtp.gmail.com"
smtp_port = 587
smtp_domain = *****.org
smtp_user_name = ' ******@*****.org'
smtp_password = ' ********************'
smtp_enable_start_tls = true

```

When I use the above information the test email successfully goes through! But when I go to register, Discourse says it’s sending a confirmation email, but it never does.

I have also tried ports 465 and 2525 w/ the above information. I have also tried smtp\_address = “[smtp-relay.gmail.com](http://smtp-relay.gmail.com)”

The sections that contain asterisks are obviously to protect my private information.

also contains information regarding this issue.

Any help with this would be most appreciated.
