### 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 who offer generous free plans that work for most communities.
|
|
|
|
**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/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md#edit-discourse-configuration):
|
|
|
|
#### [Mailgun][gun] — 10k emails/month (with credit card)
|
|
|
|
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]
|
|
|
|
#### [Elastic Email][ee] — 150k emails/month (5k max/day)
|
|
|
|
SMTP server address? smtp.elasticemail.com
|
|
SMTP user name? [Your registered email address]
|
|
SMTP password? [Elastic Email API Key]
|
|
SMTP port? 2525
|
|
|
|
#### [SendGrid][sg] — 40k emails on a 30 day trial
|
|
|
|
SMTP server address? smtp.sendgrid.net
|

We recommend creating an [API Key][sg2] instead of using your SendGrid username and password.
