Hi, finally I am able to setup a Forem instance as well. But, having trouble with the email functionality.

smtp.gmail.com is not working, can we modify in the ruby code anywhere to use an email function like phpmail()?

Can’t straight up modify the ruby code in that way, but maybe open an issue about the problem and we can discuss the proper solution?

SMTP_ADDRESS='smtp.gmail.com'
SMTP_PORT= 25
SMTP_DOMAIN='gmail.com'
SMTP_USER_NAME='emailid@gmail.com'
SMTP_PASSWORD='password'
SMTP_AUTHENTICATION='plain'

I have the above kind of configuration with the actual gmail id and password in the .env file.

The user is signed up with email option, no email was sent to confirm the email address. And tried to reset password by clicking on the forget password option, still no emails are being sent.

Did I configure something incorrectly?
