I’m using discourse for the first time and I’m having a bit of trouble setting up everything.  
I’m using GalaxyGate, hosting provider for the VPS, CloudFlare for DNS and ZeptoMail for the transactional mails.

[Here](https://imgur.com/a/eMegwhc) you can find the SMTP configuration & DNS setup between the 3 ‘platforms’ (everything censored for security purposes)

I’d love to understand what I’m doing wrong here.

See [Troubleshoot email on a new Discourse install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/troubleshoot-email-on-a-new-discourse-install/16326).

One likely problem is that you don’t have your mail system configured to send for your `notification_email` address.

You can check your logs at ZeptoMail and see what’s happening when/if the mail gets there.
