I’ll try that now. Thanks.

Before trying that, i will try [Discourse app.yml doesn't like email password contain "#" - #15 by elijah](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-app-yml-doesnt-like-email-password-contain/58437/15) by having double quotes around the password, then finally setting a password that doesnt use any special chars.

If that doesn’t work, ill configure mailgun. (as a last resort because my current email server has many emails on it.
