Topic: SMTP settings for Discourse

What would the smtp settings for Discourse? I have tried with many settings but none works.

smtp.example.com
postmaster@in.example.com
password

smtp start TLS should be True or False?

How do i decide Which is going to be my smtp address, User ID and User password?

I have used my subdomain for my iredmail server, so what should be my DNS settings in cloudflare DNS?

I tried all, but this documentation does not say anything about SMTP settings like smtp@example.com, email ID and password. Nothing is working. But my usual iredmail is working fine.

Re: SMTP settings for Discourse

You must use full email address as smtp login username.

Smtp server -  mail.in.example.com
User- postmaster@in.example.com
Password- email password
Port- 587

Re: SMTP settings for Discourse

- Are you sure the email address is "<someone>@in.example.com" but not "@example.com"? Which email domain did you add?
- Any related log in Postfix log file?
- Try to disable "fail2ban" service first then try again.
