Hello, I have setup a digitalocean discourse docker instance. Setup went just smooth, however… I can’t seem to get the account creation working because I don’t get a verification email. My settings are the following DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.strato.de DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 465 DISCOURSE_S…

I am not sure what solution was working now, but I realized that I had the wrong config setup. DISCOURSE_SMTP_DOMAIN: celesto.graphics.com My domain had 2 TLDs in that setup, the .com was not needed. Anyway, I receive the emails now just fine.

[image] 2TapPrince: celesto.graphics Don’t worry, I’ll try to guide you as best as possible, I’m not an expert on the subject, but so far my email works without problems, personally I use “sendiblue”, because it was the only one that allowed me to use an account without going through filters …

Thank you for the reply! Yeah I did that. [brave_zM2ejLutkK] Another thing. I tried sending a test mail via the admin cp, and it gave me this [brave_C6ggR32h23] I entered my Google Mail as recipient to test. So the email wasn’t sent, as it seems. This is weird. So I can’t send emails. Which w…

I forgot, have you already opened port 587 through the firewall? The same within the network you do. Networking/Firewalls/Create Firewall [Screenshot - 30_07_2022 , 05_58_46 p.m.] 1 Name (example: Firewall of my forum) 2 New rule, select “Custom”. [Screenshot - 30_07_2022 , 05_58_55 p.m.] 3…
