  @Panda it will use SMTP. In all cases, I never use any plugin to send email. I’ll always send it raw.

  @Panda likely because the predefined settings are out of date. Realistically, nodebb devs can’t possibly maintain correct settings for mail services they do not control.

  OK, after taking a look at this, I’ve done the following

  1. Set your nodebb insurance to use custom smtp and send via smtp.fastmail.com
  2. Save and test

  I now get the error

  Invalid login: 535 5.7.0 Sorry, you need to create an app password to use this service. Please see fastmail.com/help for more details.

  This means you need to configure an app inside fastmail to send emails.

  After you’ve done this, it should work

  @Panda said in Nodebb and emails:

  Im not overstating it when I say people have left nodebb because of the same headache

  It’s going to be something simple. PM me the details of your site, and also the details for your fastmail account and I’ll get it to work.

  I’ll need your fastmail login and admin access to your forum.

  @Panda that’s a css issue I need to fix. Nothing major.

  @Panda if you are using your own vps and have root access, you can install your own post fix server free. Not difficult, but not easy either if you do not understand the technology.

  @Panda I use my own internal post fix server. What is the latest error message you receive?

  @Panda is the error message still the same even after ensuring the email address is correct? After saving, have you restarted nodebb and tried again?
