Email verification not working

Hey, I'm using resend.com and I still can't seem to get the email verification to work. I have PDS_EMAIL_SMTP_URL=smtp://resend:<APIKEY>@smtp.resend.com:465/ defined in /pds/pds.env, but I get the following internal error:

Error: Connection timeout\n    at SMTPConnection._formatError (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/nodemailer/lib/smtp-connection/index.js:790:19)\n    at SMTPConnection._onError (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/nodemailer/lib/smtp-connection/index.js:776:20)\n    at Timeout.<anonymous> (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/nodemailer/lib/smtp-connection/index.js:235:22)\n    at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:573:17)\n    at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:514:7)

The formatError bit seems to suggest it's an issue with the way the values in the PDS_EMAIL_SMTP_URL are structured. I've tried various inputs, to no avail.

It may be worth trying smtps://:

smtps://resend:<APIKEY>@smtp.resend.com:465/

Another thing to consider is whether your API key needs to be URI-encoded to deal with any special characters in it.

Okay so, my VPS where the PDS is running is hosted on Linode, and Linode blocks ports 25, 465, and 587 to prevent spam. Thankfully resend.com allows using port 2465, so I changed it to

PDS_EMAIL_SMTP_URL=smtps://resend:<APIKEY>@smtp.resend.com:2465/

and it works!

I'll close the issue. Thanks.
