Discourse cannot reach your mail server.

I am using Gmail SMTP, and this is my configuration.

DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.gmail.com
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: ******@gmail.com
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: ********
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true

I’m working on a local server, please help me on this. It’s very urgent.

Do not use Gmail or G Suite to send your Discourse emails, it breaks the terms of service.

okay, so can you let me know, which one SMTP service can we use into this.

See the email section of our install guide: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md#email

It will work with gmail SMTP?

No. You asked for other email services to use, and I shared that link which helps you see other email providers to use when installing Discourse.

Take a look through that guide and then ask your questions based on the issues you had following that guide.

If you choose to follow other steps outside that guide (like using other mail providers), you make it harder to answer your questions.

Can you confirm which of the other email services you selected?

I’m not using Gmail,
I’m using the mail server that came with site

Then you should get those who run that mail server to help you.

If your situation is urgent the best thing to do is use a service like mailgun which thousands of people have used.

I am trying to use sendgrid,
it says they sent the mail but it did not?

If discourse says it sent it, then it handed it to Sendgrid. Check your sendgrid logs.

If sendgrid said it sent it, then it sent it somewhere. Check your spam folder.
