yes, I set up the SMTP details correctly in the containers/app.yml and also verified my domain with Mailgun but, I don't even get my own activation e-mail for the developer/admin account.
It's the 10th droplet I create on digitalocean and I've tried: mandrillapp, sitegrid, mailjet and now mailgun, with both Ubuntu Discourse and manual installation via SSH. I checked, double-check, checked^10 and rechecked and I don't seem to know what is the problem - either the DNS propagation (even though the domain is verified - mailgun being the only service to do it in under an hour) or my setting from the *.yml file, which I copy-pasted from mailgun's smtp info section.
here is my app.yml content:
`## TODO: List of comma delimited emails that will be made admin and developer
## on initial signup example 'user1@example.com,user2@example.com'
DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS: 'dvsn23@outlook.com'
## TODO: The domain name this Discourse instance will respond to
DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME: 'medaddon.com'
## TODO: The mailserver this Discourse instance will use
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.mailgun.org # (mandatory)
#DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587 # (optional)
#DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: postmaster@medaddon.com
# (optional)
#DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: ******************************* # (o$
#DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true # (optional, default true)`
Shouldn't have I used my personal email as the **DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS: ** ? I don't think its relevant in any way since the server should send an e-mail, through mailgun.org. The problem is I ran mailgun's test code in smtp and I succesfully sent some test e-mail from the console (putty), but everytime I go back to my domain, click login and to re-send the verification e-mail - nothing happens. The problem is in there somewhere because mailgun's logs say nothing too. Maybe I'm too tired now to see that simple mistake.
Did anybody stumbled upon something similar? It's the first time I used Digital Ocean, even though I used linux before, and I did it just to install Discourse. And now I'm disappointed.
