I have configured items related to SMTP service in the app.yml configuration file, but I still cannot receive the activation email correctly. Please provide some support.
Here are the logs I collected:

Could it be that notification email is not set correctly in /admin/site\_settings/category/required?
Is the “Sending Method” configuration in /admin/email displayed correctly?
(Just guessing
Wait, your domain doesn’t even have an MX record…)

The problem must be in the docker configuration, because I have other services that can normally use my CMTP server to send emails. I don’t know where the /admin/site\_settings/category/required you mentioned is, and I can’t find it.

Hello @liuyang,
Sorry to ask but can you please ask your question in English so the whole community can understand and help if they can?
Thanks! 😉

emmm
You could try creating an admin by
```bash
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
## in the container
rake admin:create
```

Thanks for your help. Now I have successfully activated my administrator account through the command line, but I still cannot send emails through SMTP. I have successfully sent test emails through Telnet on the server, so I think there are some configuration items in app.yml that I am not clear about, which causes my problems
```plaintext
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.qq.com
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: 1111111111111111111111111111111111@qq.com
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: qq smtp login Authorization code
DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: login
DISCOURSE_SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE: none
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true

Did you set `DISCOURSE_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL` in your `app.yml` or “notification email” in site settings?
