Hey, is there a complete tutorial somewhere on how to set up SMTP other than that?
I do some SMTP test and this definitely works, but the emails on my selfhost forem site don't send.
I also tried different authorization methods (login or plain) because I don't know how to figure out which one I need, but it doesn't work either way.
I searched this site and found several similar threads, but in almost every one the problem was solved by some miracle with a forem update. That doesn't work for me.
I use the latest version of selfhost with some changes of my own (I add ukrainian localization).
Maybe there's some way where I can get site-side logs about sending emails? Thanks.
UPDATE:
Well, I was able to cope with it and will give a couple of tips for those who find this post:
The SMTP settings don't seem to update immediately and each time I did the command "sudo systemctl restart forem.service", and only after that everything worked
I specified the port for TLS encryption, not SSL. If your provider provides different ports for different encryption, try TLS.
I specified the same Address and Domain, this is the domain provided by your provider, in my case it is mail.privateemail.com (mail service from namecheap)

what server provider do you have?
If you use Linode you need to call support to unblock the ports that deal with email.
I'm not sure about aws or google cloud.
Good luck
