I am using a local postfix smtp and getting this error:

503 5.5.1 Error: authentication not enabled

DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_ADDRESS: [mail.xxx.net](http://mail.xxx.net)  
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_PORT: 587  
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_USER\_NAME: [resources@xxx.net](mailto:resources@xxx.net)  
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_PASSWORD: password123?  
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_ENABLE\_START\_TLS: true # (optional, default true)  
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_OPENSSL\_VERIFY\_MODE: none  
DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_AUTHENTICATION: “plain”

I added the last 2 options as a last resort but made no effect.

The smtp server works in all testing tools I used, like openssl or swaks from inside the docker container.
