I recently installed Discourse on my server, but I’m facing an issue during user registration. When a new user tries to create an account, they get redirected to **[id.discourse.com](http://id.discourse.com)** instead of completing the signup directly on my forum.

I want the entire signup process to stay on my own forum.

Is this happening because I didn’t configure SMTP during the initial setup? If yes, how can I connect SMTP now after installation?

I am currently using Brevo for email services, so if anyone has a step-by-step guide or recommended settings for configuring Brevo with Discourse, that would be really helpful.
