Create an account on https://mandrillapp.com/

After successful registration, go to Log in to Mandrill and create a new API key .

Edit the SMTP configuration settings in your app.yml with your Mandrill API details.

Host : smtp.mandrillapp.com
Port : 587
SMTP Username : YOUR SMTP USERNAME
SMTP Password : YOUR API KEY

then

./launcher rebuild app

EDIT: Just in case you have little knowledge on editing your app.yml file:

  • ssh root@serverIP
  • cd /var/discourse
  • nano containers/app.yml
