Thanks for posting!

That email doesn’t work is expected, but the errors you are seeing are unusual. They might be due to something else in your setup.

When I try to send an invite on my test self-hosted instance, I see this error:

```plaintext
Jobs::HandledExceptionWrapper: Wrapped Socket::ResolutionError: getaddrinfo: No address associated with hostname

```

And this notice in the dashboard

Also, the failure on this one is _not_ related to email. Do you have more info on this from `/logs`?
