Hmm. It looks like it’s possible to do an only semi-braindead SMTP test like this:

```plaintext
echo Hello world > /tmp/mail.txt
curl -v smtp://$DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS:$DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT \
  --mail-from noreply@$DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME \
  --mail-rcpt $(echo $DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS | cut -d ',' -f 1) \
  --user $DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME:"$DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD" \
  --upload-file /tmp/mail.txt 

```

So it should be possible to do such a test. My concern is that it would have a bunch of false positives and false negatives, but maybe printing a warning if it fails could help some people.

Maybe a better idea would be yet another script (`discourse-mail-check`?) that would do a quick and dirty test like that if you’re having trouble.
