SMTP Configured but doesn't send external email invites to users

Grafana Configuration
1

I’m trying to configure grafana to send email invites to new user but cannot succeed in it. The server is running on an EC2 instance on ubuntu 18.04

I have attached screenshots of my configurations

@daniellee any help?

Apparently Grafana doesn’t come with it’s own SMTP server as I thought.
So the settings were correct, it just didn’t have anything to send mail with.

Yes, data is wrong. You should enter following data:
[smtp]
enabled = true
host = yourEmailHost:port
user = yourEmail

If the password contains # or ; you have to wrap it with trippel quotes. Ex “”"#password;"""

password = passwordForYourEmail
;cert_file =
;key_file =
;skip_verify = false
from_address = yourEmail
;from_name = Grafana

EHLO identity in SMTP dialog (defaults to instance_name)

;ehlo_identity = dashboard.example.com
