## Recommended Email Providers for Discourse
|
|
|
|
We strongly recommend using a dedicated email service. Email server setup and maintenance is _very_ difficult even for experienced system administrators, and getting any part of the complex required email setup wrong means your email won't be delivered, or worse, delivered erratically.
|
|
|
|
The following are template configurations for email service providers who offer generous free plans that work for most communities.
|
|
|
|
Use these values when you [edit your Discourse `app.yml` configuration file](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md#edit-discourse-configuration):
|
|
|
|
#### [SparkPost][sp] (100k emails/month)
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.sparkpostmail.com
|
|
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
|
|
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: SMTP_Injection
|
|
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: [Any API key with Send via SMTP permission]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If not using **the exact** domain you verified (e.g. you're using a subdomain of it), you must change the default `from` email to match the sending domain. Uncomment (and update with your sending domain) this line in `app.yml`:
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
- exec: rails r "SiteSetting.notification_email='info@unconfigured.discourse.org'"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### [SendGrid][sg] (12k emails/month)
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.sendgrid.net
|
|
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
|
|
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: [SendGrid username]
|
|
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: [SendGrid password]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### [Mailgun][gun] (10k emails/month)
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.mailgun.org
|
|
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
|
|
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: [SMTP credentials for your domain under Mailgun domains tab]
|
|
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: [SMTP credentials for your domain under Mailgun domains tab]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### [Mailjet][jet] (6k emails/month)
|
|
|
|
