Custom SMTP update not working

But what do i gain if i use the same server as the default one ? Template editing ? Just want to figure out if i need this for any additional functionality which i would not have with the default server settings)

Yes

To edit templates you will need having the default server setup in the env var and there

thanks !

my mail is working but it says SMTP is disconnected

That's the problem then

You need to setup the corresponding variables in the docker compose file as said

i was following this document to update the smtp

Did you have done that?

And setup all those vars?

In the docker compose file too?

yes.. i did but it didn't say to update in docker compose file

so i was searching where to put those variables

Did you ran docker compose up -d After changing them?

In your appwrite folder, there's a file called docker-compose.yml

There you can find all variables in such file

yes

ok wait..

Also note in the docker compose file there are 2 container that need the var to be changed

yes updated

still the same

can i enable this from hardcoded docker compose ?

I guess my mail server didn't support the TLS .. i had to put SSL
