WordPress, Discourse and Local SMTP Server

[DelphiKnight (Dimitri Gogelia)]

Hello,

Is it possible to install WordPress, Discourse and local SMTP server together?
I need to use in this way:

WP site address: www.example.com
Discourse: www.example.com/community
SMTP server for Doscourse and WP needs: smtp.example.com

I will use DO Virtual Servers for this.

You cannot use ./discourse-setup to set up Discourse if another server is using port 80 or 443. You will …

The SMTP server is separate and should work, but please note that sending mails yourself is terribly painful. I’d highly recommend using a commercial mailing service for this, e.g. SendGrid.
