Is it possible to set up a forum without using SMTP and also disable the account recovery system?
So that a person can simply register without email confirmation.
Hostname for your Discourse? [discourse.example.com]:
Email address for admin account(s)? [[email protected],[email protected]]:
SMTP server address? [smtp.example.com]:
SMTP port? [587]:
SMTP user name? [[email protected]]:
SMTP password? [pa$word]:
Let's Encrypt account email? (ENTER to skip) [[email protected]]:
Optional Maxmind License key () [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]:
I am also interested in how to remove the email address field from the registration window so that it is not required at all. It is a useless, outdated technology that should have been eliminated from the internet a long time ago.
There is a way to disable requiring e-mail verification for new user accounts:
Disable Email Verification for Discourse Plugin – plugin – Discourse Meta
However, don’t believe there is a way to set up a new discourse site without a valid e-mail for administrator account.

There are topics on setting up SSO sites.
Email signups are still very common & strong out there.
