Hello, I’ve been trying to set up my Discourse forum, everything is fine except that I won’t get any mail for the admin account when trying to set it up. I use mailgun, and everything is fine on that end in the DNS settings, with it showing “active” or “verified” in green colors on all the settings. Checking the logs on mailgun it doesn’t show anything either. I ran ./discourse-doctor and this is what it shows: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/d/9/a/d9a9eb2515515f40ef334f1ac7cc798c6e91c8a6.png) Does anyone know what I can do? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/smtpauthenticationerror-i-dont-receive-mail-from-mailgun-to-setup-the-admin-account/248608)._
