Welcome aboard! Folks over on the /r/startrek subreddit were talking about finding a community on lemmy.
I spent the last few hours trying to get mail working on my instance. Eventually I set up postfix on my linux host and had the lemmy docker container use that. Happy to say it is working.
Does the gmail SMTP server have a limit on how many emails can be sent per day?
I’m trying Brevo right now which has a free SMTP relay allowing 300 emails every 24 hours. The Brevo admin console shows green, relay setup and verified (adding some TXT DNS entries on my domain registrar).
As far as I can tell, everything is setup, and lemmy.hjson has the email block with the correct smtp-relay address, port, user and password.
I bring lemmy down and back up to pick up the new settings, but when I go add an email address to my user profile and click save, I get an error:
email_send_failed: Connection error: time out 0: lemmy_api::local_user::save_settings::perform
I tried updating to the latest lemmy release candidates for both BE and UI, too. No difference.
GoDaddy, nothing free, but they have office 365 for $1.99 (USD) a month.
I’ll check out Gandi, but assume you can only use their relay if you registered the domain through them?
Will do!
Yeah, I saw that too, but other places I signed up still haven’t approved me, so I signed up here.

It depends. If I know I’ll be picking it up to play again from where I left off in a few hours, I will put it to sleep. But if I’m done for the day, I will shut it down.
I’ve had some issues getting it to turn on from sleep mode though, so tend to shut it down more than put it to sleep.
Oh, that’s a great idea! I have a raspberry pi I could run an instance on, too. Now I need to figure it whether running an instance is worthwhile or not.
Might be overloaded since a lot of people are trying out Lemmy.

I’ve seen similar behavior (fail fast,) when there are outbound networking issues from any of the service containers. In one instance, lemmy backend was not able to make any outbound connections to any external services. It wild fail in milliseconds and show a timeout error in the logs.
One hypothesis here could be there are sporadic network issues on the lemmy.ml servers. 🤷♂️
