DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_ADDRESS: [mail.domain.com](http://mail.domain.com) # required  
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_PORT: 587 # (optional, default 587)

# DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_USER\_NAME: login # required

#DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_PASSWORD: pw # required, WARNING the char ‘#’ in pw can cause problems!

DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_ENABLE\_START\_TLS: true

If I enable the username and password it gives me a 500 error about command not recognized. If I don’t, the logs say the email is sent and it DOES send to my account on my domain if i say to, but it does not send to gmail or yahoo emails.

I have an SSL cert that I tested and is valid. I have tried multiple things and spent around 14 hours trying to get this working. I don’t know why its not sending, the same things are used for my other services, and they both are capable of sending to gmail and yahoo.
