Setting up Discourse

[Satan]

I'd like to not pay as this is for my experience to learn and I feel that I am simply making a wierd mistake with sparkpost.com as a SMTP mail server, but I can't seem to send mail to my test email [email protected] from the discourse forum i setup on forum.botnation.xyz

I've setup a sending domain and verified it but it is not my botnation.xyz and instead sparkpost for some reason only lets .com domains to be sending domains, so i used a .com one.

anyone want to help? Please pm me for my skype so you can help me. I will be sure to give a huge vouch (detailed so its not a one worded "vouch!") and yes... since this is a marketplace i might be willing to pay, but only a little. ~$10 max. Help out a guy here

It legit took like 5 minutes to set up.
The first time, it took like 30 minutes... But that's because I didn't know how to use their control panel, and most of the time was waiting for DNS Records to magically update.
Then, if you seem "fishy" enough you would need to tell them in support why you will use it...
Happended to me the first time, then they whitelisted me
But uhm, If you need help with Mailgun I'll be happy to help.

I'll try it as a last resort, i have high hopes for sparkpost lol, just gotta wait for these stupid magic domains to work XD. does mailgun support .xyz domains?

Also, seems that 100,000 emails/month on SparkPost for free....
When it's 10,000 emails/month on Mailgun for free...
I'd personally choose mailgun, had no issues.
Easy to setup.[DOUBLEPOST=1467514149][/DOUBLEPOST]

They support all domains as i know of, I've tested my .xyz on it aswell, awhile back when ovh had the sale. Seemed to work fine.
