From 9bcb841a8b271ed93d06e4c18732161332530d29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Blake Erickson <o.blakeerickson@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2016 07:47:54 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Change SendGrid info to use api key While it does work I don't think using your SendGrid username and password is good practice so we probably shouldn't promote it. API Keys should be used instead. --- docs/INSTALL-email.md | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/INSTALL-email.md b/docs/INSTALL-email.md index db40eea4e3d..ee499ad470f 100644 --- a/docs/INSTALL-email.md +++ b/docs/INSTALL-email.md @@ -26,9 +26,10 @@ If not using **the exact** domain you verified (e.g. you're using a subdomain of ```yml DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.sendgrid.net DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587 -DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: [SendGrid username] -DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: [SendGrid password] +DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: apikey +DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: [SendGrid API Key] ``` +We recommend creating an [API Key][sg2] instead of using your SendGrid username and password. #### [Mailgun][gun] (10k emails/month) @@ -49,3 +50,4 @@ Go to [My Account page](https://www.mailjet.com/account) and click on the ["SMTP [jet]: https://www.mailjet.com/pricing [gun]: http://www.mailgun.com/ [sg]: https://sendgrid.com/ + [sg2]: https://sendgrid.com/docs/Classroom/Send/How_Emails_Are_Sent/api_keys.html
