Hi!  
I went through most of the “SMTP problems” threads but still cannot solve my problem.  
Ubuntu in AWS EC2, fresh Discourse installation, can’t receive confirmation email.  
Current configuration:

```
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.motomirko.pl
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 465
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: admin@motomirko.pl
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: secretplainpassword
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true

```

I can telnet to smtp.motomirko.pl 465 from instance, connection is ok.  
I test my mail server with setting outlook client, and there I saw the problem. When connection was set only to TLS than it was refused, when I set to SSL than connection was successful.  
I’m not really sure is it helpful.  
Dump from logs : [Started POST "/finish-installation/register" for 87.206.151.152 at 2017-07-09 14 - Pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com/jD4ftdrt)

Please help!  
Cheers!
