Hello everyone!
I need your assistance.
I am desperate.
I installed Discourse few years ago by myself, it worked well. But now I have faced with some problems: discourse doesn’t send confirmation to new users while registration process.
I tried several ways to solve this problem but I can’t get what i should do.
Previuos time I installed Discourse without any problems, even I have some basic knowledges, but I succed anyway.
Now i face with very strange data which i should insert.
I really need Your assistance.
Now i delete the previuos discourse from server and would like to install again.
Hope anyone could type all kind of data i need to insert while the installation process.

This will be password generated by smtp sender when you configure that to send for your domain.
Have you referenced the standard\_install guide?:
>
_To ensure mail deliverability, you must add valid [SPF and DKIM records](https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+spf+dkim) in your DNS. You’ll need SMTP credentials from your email provider, which include an SMTP username and password. Log in to your email provider’s account, go to SMTP settings or Email API section, and locate/generate your unique SMTP credentials. Keep them secure, as you’ll use them during the Discourse configuration. See your mail provider instructions for specifics._

SMTP PORT **2525**
SMTP ADDDRESS [**smtp.timeweb.ru**](http://smtp.timeweb.ru/)
discourse forum’s name [**www.community.elenaspivakova.com**](http://www.community.elenaspivakova.com/)
DISCOURSE\_DEVELOPER\_EMAILS: ‘name@example.com’ ( **what email should i insert here?** )
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_ADDRESS: [smtp.timeweb.ru](http://smtp.timeweb.ru/)

For the hostname you can chose any sub-domain such as “community”.custom\_domain. You don’t need the www so would just be “[community.elenaspivakova.com](http://community.elenaspivakova.com)”
E-mail for admin account needs to be working e-mail.
SMTP information is all from the e-mail SMTP sender you are using. Default port is 587.
Let’s Encrypt account email and Maxmind License key are optional not necessary.
Looks like you have all the information you need.

Believe no, that will be different generated by smtp provider in this case [timeweb.ru](http://timeweb.ru) once you have smtp setup with them that will tell you the SMTP port, username and password.
> [@Elena\_me](#):
>
> SMTP password? [pa$word]: **from the above mentioned email?**
No, is (usually) password generated for smtp by e-mail sender not regular e-mail account password.
Let’s Encrypt account email you can skip or set that to different e-mail for that.
To verify reccomend you contact support with the mail sender you are using, there is also a support article here:

This is typically your admin email account as @Architect said it had to be a working email.
