Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/issues/519

I'm having some problems when creating new users.
I've send the email invitation but it doesn't seem to work. The emails are never sent and I cant create the users in any other way.
Which logs should I check¿? Does the email server needs to be configured? Now its out of the box per say.

Thanks!

Did you do the SMTP configuration?

If not, no emails will be sent:

Hi XelNika, thanks for your reply.
By any chance do you know where are the configuration files for the smtp server at?
Im not using docker, I have it installed on a vm.

Thanks again

SMTP settings go in the environment file. Are you running it as a systemd service? There's an example here. Use the template file here, SMTP is at the bottom. Put the environment file where the service is pointing and make sure the service has read permission.
