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

You can disable the enable local logins site setting if you wish to remove local logins. You can also try Discourse ID .

[immagine] 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 …

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.

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 …

Oh, mi sono dimenticato di DO lol. Me ne sono andato da un po’. Nella mia testa pensavo a Resend e Hetzner. Quindi sì, usa 2525 (ora ricordo di averlo cambiato anche durante la migrazione).
Edit: ho corretto il mio post. Grazie Jakee
