I used the ansible method to install Lemmy on a DigitalOcean VPS. They do block port 25 and there is no way around that. I tried to change the port from 25 to 465 in the config.hjson file but still no luck. I am super new to this but I want to get this working so bad. I’m so close! The site is working fine, just no emails. I’ve checked spam, trash, etc. - nothing is getting sent.
Any chance you wouldn’t mind walking me through how to set up Lemmy to do that? Any guide or reference would be appreciated.
I don’t remember exactly since it was long ago but i believe its: make a mailgun account (make sure you disable the free trial so it doesnt automatically sign you up for the paid service) generate a new mailbox and save the info it gives you and in your config.hjson add your smtp server “smtp.mailgun.org:465”, smtp login: “postmaster@mailgun.example.com”, smtp password: “randomcharacters”, a from_address like: "Lemmy noreply ", and set the tls type to “tls”
If thats all the steps let me know so I can make a request to have it added to the wiki of https://lemmyadmin.site
