Hello, I’m in the process of setting up Discourse with digital ocean. Everything is good, but I’m having trouble with the mail services. I have a .ca domain name and MailGun doesn’t accept that. If you know any good mailing services, please tell me, thanks. ---

Hi there. Welcome. You can try any of these: [discourse/docs/INSTALL-email.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-email.md) I’m testing Mailjet and is working very good for the moment. You can chose domains or accounts, their have a free plan that covers the basis (and more that another providers offers). If you want to recieve mails, you can check that: [Configure direct-delivery incoming email for self-hosted sites with Mail-Receiver](https://meta.discourse.org/t/straightforward-direct-delivery-incoming-mail/49487) or try with another provider because Mailjet don’t work as reciever. ---

Did you try to create an actual domain? I just created `discourse.somebogusdomain.ca`. ---

My domain name is `community.globalaviators.ca` (Not hosted yet though) ---

Mailgun definitely works with .ca, I have several setup there. I can’t help you unfortunately, but thought I would chime in to confirm it does work. ---

Is it possible that some other account has registered that domain on mailgun? That’s the only explanation I can think of. ---

Raise a support ticket with mailgun. Only they can explain why their system isn’t taking your domain. ---
