Discourse email configuration help

Hi people,

I’m working on a discourse installation and followed the recommended email service to use, mandrillapp.

Unfortunately, on creating my account with mailchimp, they flaged me instantly for violation of service. reasons have not been clarified yet.

Then I saw a post on using zoho as the required email service. I configured zoho, but it wont send authentication mails to activate accounts.

here is my arcitecture, DNS managed by cloudflare, hosting on DO, domian mail on zoho

please help
