Hello,
I just installed discourse in DO and I’m having issues sending email: This is what I see in the logs:
```plaintext
Processing by Admin::EmailController#index as JSON
Parameters: {"_"=>"1486273924108"}
Completed 200 OK in 18ms (Views: 0.6ms | ActiveRecord: 12.0ms)
Started GET "/about/live_post_counts.json?_=1486273924109" for 69.138.184.85 at 2017-02-05 05:52:04 +0000
Processing by AboutController#live_post_counts as JSON
Parameters: {"_"=>"1486273924109"}
Completed 200 OK in 20ms (Views: 0.3ms | ActiveRecord: 9.7ms)
Started POST "/admin/email/test" for 69.138.184.85 at 2017-02-05 05:52:18 +0000
Processing by Admin::EmailController#test as */*
Parameters: {"email_address"=>"computertech2124@gmail.com"}
```
so not sure where Is the problem. I’m using mailgun and I have added all the records required and my domain is verified.
This is what is on my app file:
```plaintext
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.mailgun.org
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 576
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: postmaster@gaming.org
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: "mypassword"
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true
```

`DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT` should be `587` instead of `576`.

thank you! I must had misstype it. Now I got it to send the email but, the mailgun logs give me this info:
```plaintext
"reject": {
"reason": "Free accounts are for test purposes only. Please upgrade or add the address to authorized recipients in Account Settings.",
"description": ""
```
I have added the postmaster email as the authorized recipients and I thought mailgun offered free services?

A few weeks ago they changed their policy. It is still free for the first 10k messages per month, but you must give them a credit card to be able to send mail.
