I just entered an smtp password with a `%` and `./discourse-setup` properly created:

```
   DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: "hitsd$%password"

```

It looks like `./launcher` is doing fine as well.

Were there other characters in the password? If you’ve changed it, can you send me the exact password so that I can see what’s up?

Thanks.
