### Recommended Email Providers for Discourse
|
|
|
|
We strongly recommend using a dedicated email service. Email server setup and maintenance is _very_ difficult even for experienced system administrators, and getting any part of the complex required email setup wrong means your email won't be delivered, or worse, delivered erratically.
|
|
|
|
The following are template configurations for email service providers known to work with Discourse.
|
|
|
|
_The pricing information is included as a courtesy, and may be out of date. Discourse does not control the pricing for external services, be sure to check with the email provider for up to date pricing information._
|
|
|
|
**Please note that in any email provider, you _must_ verify and use the subdomain, e.g. `discourse.example.com`. If you verify the domain only, e.g. `example.com`, mail will not be configured correctly.**
|
|
|
|
Enter these values when prompted by `./discourse-setup` per the [install guide](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md#edit-discourse-configuration). To change the current email service, run `./discourse-setup` as well (this will bring the forum offline for a few minutes while it gets rebuilt).

|
|
#### [Mailgun][gun] — 5k emails/month on a 3 month trial
|
|
|
|
SMTP server address? smtp.mailgun.org
|
|
SMTP user name? [SMTP credentials for your domain under domains tab]
|
|
SMTP password? [SMTP credentials for your domain under domains tab]
|
|
|
|
#### [SendGrid][sg] — 40k emails on a 30 day trial
|
|
|
|
SMTP server address? smtp.sendgrid.net
|
|
SMTP user name? apikey
|
|
SMTP password? [SendGrid API Key]
|
|
|
|
We recommend creating an [API Key][sg2] instead of using your SendGrid username and password.
|
|
|
|
#### [Mailjet][jet] — 6k emails/month (200 max/day)
|
|
|
|
Go to [My Account page](https://app.mailjet.com/account) and click on the ["SMTP and SEND API Settings"](https://app.mailjet.com/account/relay) link to generate a secret key and get the SMTP server address.
|
|
|
|
SMTP server address? [Mailjet SMTP server address]
|
|
SMTP username? [Mailjet API key]
|
|
SMTP password? [Mailjet secret key]
|
|
|
|
#### [Elastic Email][ee]
|
|
|
|
SMTP server address? smtp.elasticemail.com
|
|
SMTP user name? [Your registered email address]
|
|
SMTP password? [Elastic Email API Key]
|
|
SMTP port? 2525
|
|
|
|
NOTE: By default, Elastic Email will add an additional UNSUBSCRIBE link at the bottom of each sent email. You need to work with them to [disable that link](https://meta.discourse.org/t/remove-or-merge-elastic-email-unsubscribe/70236/39), so that Discourse users can manage their subscription through Discourse.

### Bounce Handling
|
|
|
|
When using a third party email service, you will need to enable VERP, or activate their **webhooks** in order to handle bouncing emails. [Full details here.](https://meta.discourse.org/t/handling-bouncing-e-mails/45343)
