I cant setup smtp. I tried everything

I tried first Gmail bu it did not work. Than I tried Elastic mail and it did not work too. I cant see any error or problem but mails are not arrive.

I used Intuz on AWS. I opened port. What should I do?

Gmail will not work. Gsuite is not recommended. ElasticEmail is not designed for transactional email. It is likely difficult to configure Intuz to work. I recommend mailgun or SparkPost. You will need to follow instructions on those sites for configuring them to deliver mail for your forum’s (sub)domain name.

For $99 I’ll configure Mailgun for your domain, install Discourse and send you explicit instructions for the DNS configuration that is needed. $99 Discourse Install – Literate Computing, LLC

Thank you. if I setup Discourse on EC2 without Intuz can I use Gmail or ElasticEmail? I tried Bitnami script. İt is work but I dont like bitnami because slow I think.

So it seems that you tried everything except for reading the installation instructions. Check these out! :wink:

You have a typo. It’s smtp.elasticemail.com with an ‘e’. It will work with everything being approved to send (DKIM, SPF records approved).

I want to use Gmail for inbox and Mailgun for notif. mails vs. is this possible? can I use both

Yes, sending and receiving mail are two distinct processes.

You can use Gmail mailbox for retrieving mail via POP3 as described in this howto Set up reply by email with POP3 polling

I cant see any delivery method information this screen. Is this normal?

Look at the mailgun logs.

nothing seems :frowning:

Should I open any port or something?

No. That is not normal. Did you use discourse-setup to configure SMTP?

Why can’t you use discourse-setup? There are many conditions in which you can’t use it (e.g., you’re running on a non-standard port). From some of your output it’s clear that your app.yml isn’t configuring SMTP correctly, if at all.

No, there is no requirement for using discourse-setup, but since you’re apparently unable to configure app.yml without it, that was my suggestion.
