Hi, I just installed my instance with Ansible.

Now following this doc to check if email is set up correctly. However I didn't receive an email to reset the password.

I doubled checked that I have email in my account settings. Used telnet localhost 25 to verify the hostname is my domain.

What am I missing?

Makes sense to use a transactional mail provider (Like SparkPost, SendGrid, Mailgun) or MXroute. because self hosting email nowadays can be a dreadful journey 😑

Yeah, thank you for the information! I will look into that!

Just found that this is what I should do when hosting the instance on Google cloud https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/sending-mail#choosing_a_third-party_email_service_to_use.
