## The Problem
I get the error on first registration:
```plaintext
tail -f /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/rails/production.log
Sent mail to robotas@magveda.lt (61113.9ms)
Job exception: Net::ReadTimeout
```
## What I tried
- I received the test email successfully using python code provided in [Troubleshoot email on a new Discourse install - #113](https://meta.discourse.org/t/troubleshooting-email-on-a-new-discourse-install/16326/113)
- I checked all options in [Troubleshoot email on a new Discourse install - #113](https://meta.discourse.org/t/troubleshooting-email-on-a-new-discourse-install/16326/113) without success
- Tried different email accounts, then `./launcher rebuild app` and I get the same error
## The question
- What more can I do?
- Is it possible to increase the verbosity of the error?
## My ` containers/app.yml` :
```plaintext
## TODO: List of comma delimited emails that will be made admin and developer
## on initial signup example 'user1@example.com,user2@example.com'
DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS: 'robo@magved.lt'
## TODO: The SMTP mail server used to validate new accounts and send notifications
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: pap.serveriai.lt
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 465
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: robo@magved.lt
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: topsecret
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true # (optional, default true)
DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: plain

```

Can you manually (via `telnet` or similar) send an email from the server using the **same** credentials?

It is working with these parameters (PORT - 587, AUTHENTICATION - “login”):
```plaintext
## TODO: The SMTP mail server used to validate new accounts and send notifications
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: pap.serveriai.lt
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: robo@magved.lt
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: topsecret
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true # (optional, default true)
DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: "login"
DISCOURSE_SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE: none
```
Email provider gave wrong port and authentication parameters.
