I guess this is the bitnami image, so not supported here.

I’m running a discourse instance on google cloud, just follow the [official guide](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md) and everything works fine.

If you launched it from Google Cloud Launcher, then it is a Bitnami image.

Quoting StackOverflow answer:

> Google Cloud Platform doesn’t allow SMTP traffic through default ports: 25, 465, 587. You can check Google Cloud Documentation to configure a third-party mail provider like Sendgrid, Mailgun or Mailjet. If you use Google Apps you can also use it to send email through 465 or 587 ports.

> Another alternative could be that you use your own email server on a custom port or using a VPN to bypass that port restriction.

You can find more info on [Bitnami Wiki page for Google Cloud Platform](https://wiki.bitnami.com/Google_Cloud_Platform/Servers#How_to_configure_the_email_settings_of_your_application)

If you find more issues with the Discourse Bitnami image or installer, you can post them in our “Discourse powered” community forum at [https://community.bitnami.com](https://community.bitnami.com) 😃

Send Grid would be great, I have an account there. How do I set it up on my Discourse install?
