Thank you @sanikolaev this worked for me. I realized couple of things that I updated that worked for me.

Comment out the Environment variables you aren't using.
Do not use " or ' in .env file.
Make sure to have certificate key and file properly set up. (very important)
Instead of using 465, use 587
Keep the NEXT_PRIVATE_SMTP_SECURE and NEXT_PRIVATE_SMTP_UNSAFE_IGNORE_TLS to false.
Make sure all the URLS for webapp, internal webapp and marketing url point to the same url.

I will now test if my settings has any issues while using the application. Hopefully, none!

I finally found out. First of all: I use a nginx reverse proxy.
It is important that the internal URLs parameter¹ go to the internal URL (Port 3000) and the public URL² goes to the reverse proxy (443 or whatelse).

I use dns server coredns to point smtp.in.com to 192.168.1.213 where my mailpit container is

docker-compose for mailpit

services:
  mailpit:
    image: axllent/mailpit

    container_name: mailpit
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    ports:
      - 8025:8025
      - 1030:1025
      - 1110:1110
    environment:
      MP_MAX_MESSAGES: 5000
      MP_DATABASE: /data/mailpit.db

make sure the port you expose for smtp is open. 😆 🤦‍♂ I spent two hours to figure that out. If your debian or ubuntu

sudo ufw allow 1030

I'm having problems with this as well. Had to set the account manually as verified in the database.

Password recover e-mail works just fine.

@mondsen commented on GitHub (Feb 8, 2026):

I finally found out. First of all: I use a nginx reverse proxy. It is important that the internal URLs parameter¹ go to the internal URL (Port 3000) and the public URL² goes to the reverse proxy (443 or whatelse).

¹ NEXT_PRIVATE_INTERNAL_WEBAPP_URL + NEXT_AUTH_URL ² NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBAPP_URL

I just want to let everybody with my setup know, that this also worked for me with Caddy as reverse proxy.
I've tried a lot before, but nothing worked. Then I assigned dedicated container names to the docker containers of documenso (documenso-db and documenso-app) and use only "documenso-app" in the internal URLs and only the public facing FQDN in the NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBAPP_URL.

Very grateful for this.
