I can’t get my Discourse installation to work with SparkPost. Let’s say my domain is [example.com](http://example.com). I have it registered and verified as a sending domain with SparkPost. The relevant part of my app.yml looks like this:  
`DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME: 'www.example.com' DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.sparkpostmail.com DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587 DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: SMTP_Injection DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: (api key)`

Yet when I try to complete my Discourse setup by creating an admin account, I do not receive the confirmation email. What’s going on here? I have read the email support thread.

Thanks!
