Trying to figure out how to setup a forum with discourse but having some trouble with SMTP stuff and gmail. essentually I’m trying to figure out how to disable the need for an SMTP server because I’m going to be using Steam Login instead

by chance would it be possible to suggest this as a future feature somewhere? because email is kinda a annoying verification method for users

in the meantime how do I get this thing working with smtp.gmail.com so I can finish setup
