As I wrote - I set force\_TLS:

`DISCOURSE_SMTP_FORCE_TLS = true`

and `ENABLE_START_TLS` explicitly to false… then mail sending works - provided the mail server runs on 465.

With mail servers running on 567 - it must be exactly the other way around.

Since then, I have a notice on the dashboard in the backend… but mail sending works without problems.
