Hello,
I tried to install discourse with docker compose file, using AWS SES as SMTP server, but the emails are not working. I am sure the credentials and overall config is valid, I think there might be an issue with the default email from address. I don’t have access to app.yml with this installation method so can’t edit it. Is there a way to change he default from address installing the discourse with bitnami and docker compose?

I’m pretty sure that won’t work, as you seem to have demonstrated. See [bitnami](https://bitnami).
But you might try setting `DISCOURSE_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL` with the email address that your mail server will allow you to send from.

If this fails, would you suggest verifying email that discourse expects? The [noreply@example.com](mailto:noreply@example.com)?

That’s what Discourse defaults to. But it’s what your mail server expects that is at issue.
