Troubleshooting Email Config Mailjet

Did you enter email settings correctly?

Double check the settings in your containers/app.yml file; the simplest way is to run ./discourse-setup again. A valid email section looks like this:

DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS: 'name@example.com'
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.mailgun.org
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: postmaster@discourse.example.com
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: aUd34cdWKCu6CTjfoH7ykk

Double-check all values for correctness. Note that it all aligns, there are no leading # characters, and there are single quotes around the developer email field.

I am using Mailjet, and it wasn’t sending the email for registering the admin account, so I tried the fix above, but whenever I add the single quotes around the email I get an error as shown below:

(<unknown>): did not find expected key while parsing a block mapping at line 40 column 3 -e LANG=en_US.UTF-8
YAML syntax error. Please check your containers/*.yml config files.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi @CorruptBlu

yml files can be a bit trick at times.

You might consider running your container yml file though a yml syntax checker.

I use this one, from time to time:

YAMLlint - The YAML Validator

Here is an example, where we copy-and-paste an entire yml file and test it (showing some “env vars of interest” in the screen shot):

It actually turned out that I hadn’t connected my domain to Mailjet. It’s fixed now.
