Hello,

From my side it does not work using my SMTP provider : infomaniak  
When I click on “Forgot password” no mail are delivered.

here is my config, if you find a way to make it work please tell 🙂

Edit you config file save and quit:  
**nano /etc/libretime/config.yml**

```auto
email:
  # Sender email address to use when sending emails.
  # > default is no-reply@libretime.org
  from_address: contact@myradio.dummy

  # The hostname of the SMTP server.
  # > default is localhost
  host: mail.infomaniak.com

  # The port of the SMTP server.
  port: 465

  # Whether to use an insecure connection, an SSL/TLS (implicit) connection (generally
  # on port 465) or a STARTTLS (explicit) connection (generally on port 587) when
  # talking to the SMTP server.
  # > must be one of (ssl/tls, starttls)
