Spacemail isn’t recommended as an email provider as you most likely have their personal business account package which isn’t intended as a sending service. View my [reply](https://meta.discourse.org/t/issue-with-creating-admin-account-for-first-time/315309/2) and use another provider such as Mailjet or Mailgun which you can use on the side for Discourse, it’s free.
