Describe the issue or problem
I have been using Mailgun for sending emails through OJS for the past several years. I recently sifted to DigitalOcean and upgraded to OJS 3.4 from 3.3. Following the upgrade, I have not been able to send any emails.
Steps I took to solve this issue
- I have already installed the Mailgun layer from Vitaliy-1. However, that did not solve the issue.
- I have tried different combinations of configurations in the config file.
- I believe I cannot use send mail because DigitalOcean blocks port 25 by default.
What application are you using?
For example, OJS 3.4.0-5
