how to do
Handle your first authentication. (This message will go away once you'd validated your first SSO request)
You forgot to remove the “#” character in front of the lines you changed. If you don’t, then they will be considered as comments and will not be taken into account.
omg 
thanks bro @zogstrip
I removed “#” but it not sending mail
Did you rebuild the container?
yes i did…
Yet again the comment character was not removed from the config lines.

That port should be correct. Have you rebuilt your Docker image?
yes i rebuilt it… ./launcher rebuild app
a bit OT…
Pros and cons of using Dreamhost v Mandrill (if someone already has a mail server at Dreamhost)?
DreamHost mail didn’t work. I use Zoho SMTP it works fine.
What config did you use? Mine isn’t working.
