Ok. I can’t get email to work with my Discourse install. I’ve got it setup on a DigitalOcean 2gb Droplet and the domain name is on Namecheap. I was able to do the workaround discribed in this post [https://meta.discourse.org/t/activation-email-not-being-sent-not-sure-whats-gone-wrong/32968/10](https://meta.discourse.org/t/activation-email-not-being-sent-not-sure-whats-gone-wrong/32968/10) to gain access to finish setup and prep the site, but I still can’t figure out the email controls.

Below I’ve tried to provide as much info as possible for my setup. I’m hoping someone can find the issue so I can move on. Thanks in advance.

Here is my “app.yml” setup:

I run `sudo ./launcher rebuild app` whenever I change “app.yml”

Here is my Namecheap DNS record: _redacted_

Here is my DigitalOcean DNS record: _redacted_

Here is my log file from error when sending test email out of admin panel:

I’m using Namecheap private email for SMTP settings.

I can receive emails to hello(at)peer(dot)cafe so I think the Namecheap records are correct. I can run `telnet mail.privateemail.com 465` on my DO droplet and am connected. So I’m thinking the problem is either in my “app.yml” file or the DO records. Any thoughts?
