Hi, starting a forum, completely new to discourse, hosted on DO, for some reason has issue with smtp or port issue. Now, wanted to find out if you have gone with google logins or social logins and no issue if local sign ups/logins is not in your forum

[이미지] abeen: great, i’ve tried sendgrid, mailgun & resend. have same issue, could be port issue, tried all ports. For now I want to see if social logins are fine, and get rid of local logins. hello @abeen welcome :wave: i’ve done numerous self-hosted installs with Mailgun and Resend on Digit…

DO says “Please be informed that, in addition to the previously blocked port 25, ports 465 and 587 have been blocked on droplets as of March 6, 2025. This is to make sure that the DigitalOcean servers are not used to send spam emails.” and I see inside the admin panel There are 30 email jobs that …

[이미지] abeen: DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: “re_my password here” this is probably the main issue causing you problems: you are using curly quotes. YML files do not like this and usually break. you need to use single or double straight quotes like 'password' or "password" [이미지] abeen: DISCOU…

[이미지] Lilly: while Resend supports this and it should work, the standard is 587 But DigitalOcean has blocked 587, and that’s why 2525 is used.

oh i forgot about DO lol. :woman_facepalming:t2: i moved off them awhile back. in my head i was thinking resend and hetzner. so yea use 2525 (i now recall switching that when i migrated too). edit: i fixed my post. thanks Jakee

Along with the excellent advice above, running a rake emails:test (see Troubleshoot email on a new Discourse install ) to immediately show the error is probably going to help.

my site has crashed now. it is a new site with few members, not sure how to download my custom pages and members. don’t want to use smtp at all.

i’m sorry this is happening to you. yea your yml file is likely broken. post the whole thing here (without the email addresses and passwords). this really shouldn’t be this difficult to get up and running. just out of curiosity what size of droplet on Digitalocean are you using? have you been …

Hi, i have Basic / 1 vCPU / 2 GB RAM / 50 GB Disk env: LC_ALL: en_US.UTF-8 LANG: en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE: en_US.UTF-8 DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME: dobato.au DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS: ``myemail@outlook.com DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: ``smtp.resend.com DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: resend DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSW…

please read my previous post here carefully. your yml file is incorrect. [이미지] abeen: i have Basic / 1 vCPU / 2 GB RAM / 50 GB Disk this should work for a non-busy forum. do you have a swap file at all? run free -h at the command line and post the output here. it should look something like …

위에서 제시된 훌륭한 조언 외에도, rake emails:test를 실행하면(Troubleshoot email on a new Discourse install 참조) 에러를 즉시 확인할 수 있어 도움이 될 것입니다.
