I've been trying to get some friends signed up on my lemmy instance.

The issue is, so far nobody seems to be receiving the signup/verification emails. I am getting the admin user-signup emails, but those are sent to contact@. I created 2 test users, one with a instance-domain address, and one to a gmail. The instance-domain address was there within a minute, but the gmail one has yet to arrive.

Instance details:

OS: Ubuntu 22.04

Lemmy: Lemmy-Ansible install, on 0.18.0, modified to removed network settings per https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/pull/102

Any ideas why this might be happening?

yeah, at the very least it should be commented out so that you know it's not just setup and go.

I appreciate the offer! I've actually already got myself setup on Brevo, though I might look into docker-mailserver in the future. If it's alright, I'll ping you if I/when I do that if I need help.

Thanks for all the help!

I'd be glad to help. The more people actually run their own mail the harder it gets for the big players to shut us out, haha.
