## 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
  #DISCOURSE_SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE: none

```
