Hi @abhimanyu 👋 and welcome to passbolt community forum 🤝 Can you tell us on which operating system you are running passbolt and the documentation you followed ? If running on a rpm Linux distro, can you give us the output of the `sestatus` command ? > [@abhimanyu](#): > > Sending email from: Passbolt [you@localhost](mailto:you@localhost) > Sending email to: {mail}@gmail.com If you are using gmail as SMTP provider, you can’t use `you@localhost` without modify smtp settings, as explained in our [email troubleshooting page](https://help.passbolt.com/faq/hosting/why-email-not-sent#reason-5-gmail-smtp-relay-not-accepting-localhost-as-ehlo) Cheers, ---

@AnatomicJC I am running on centos 7. i simply install my application shown on homepage and tried to setup smtp. I am not using gmail as SMTP provider. Email setting in /etc/passbolt/passbolt.default.php // Email configuration. ‘EmailTransport’ =\> [ ‘default’ =\> [ ‘host’ =\> ‘[mail.domain.com](http://mail.domain.com)’, ‘port’ =\> 465, ‘username’ =\> ‘it@domain.com’, ‘password’ =\> ‘i\*\*\*\*\*\*’, // Is this a secure connection? true if yes, null if no. ‘tls’ =\> null, //‘timeout’ =\> 30, //‘client’ =\> null, //‘url’ =\> null, ], ], ‘Email’ =\> [ ‘default’ =\> [ // Defines the default name and email of the sender of the emails. ‘from’ =\> [‘it@domain.com’ =\> ‘Passbolt’], //‘charset’ =\> ‘utf-8’, //‘headerCharset’ =\> ‘utf-8’, ---

Hum ok I understand, you have followed this: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/passbolt/original/2X/c/cef9fcd1809609bf4e0615a0cc7f4b76db3d883d.png) It is a quick how-to, the full documentation is here: [Passbolt Help | Install Passbolt CE on CentOS 7](https://help.passbolt.com/hosting/install/ce/centos.html) Once the package installed, you have to launch the configuration tool: ```auto sudo /usr/local/bin/passbolt-configure ``` I will report that to the website team.

Ok perfect. Can you check if selinux is enabled with the `sestatus` command ? We have a known issue with the current passbolt-selinux package, there is a missing rule for allowing communication with standard smtp ports. The issue has been fixed but the new package is not yet published. You can try to reduce selinux hardening and check if it is your issue. Open `/etc/selinux/config` and replace **enforcing** with **permissive** and reboot your server to apply. I will keep you posted when the new passbolt-selinux package will be released. Best, ---
