I hope it works out for you!

Quick note: For email, pretty much every VPS provider out there blocks port 25, which is needed for emails to send. They do this to prevent spam emails from being sent en-masse from their servers. This is likely why your Ansible installation is not sending emails.

Since it's uncommon for servers to support email, this script disables it by default. If your provider supports port 25 (or you get approved to use it, some VPS providers allow you to request access), check config.env and set USE_EMAIL to true. This will set up everything you need for email.

I haven't been able to test email, so let me know how it works if you do! This doesn't do any of the DNS verification some email provders require, so your emails might be sent to spam. Lemmy doesn't really have documentation about how to set this up properly. If someone makes guidelines for this, I can update my project to do that automatically as well.
