I installed discourse behind nginx according [this post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/running-other-websites-on-the-same-machine-as-discourse/17247). Also I have SSL certificate installed by certboot  
Registration activation email is not sending and when I run ./discourse-doctor on email sending step I get  
Net::ReadTimeout

However, **everything is OK with curl**. I send message on the same port (465) and receive message.  
My settings are:

```plaintext
- "templates/web.socketed.template.yml"
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.yandex.ru
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 465
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: _name_
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: _pass_
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true

```
