How to configure SMTP to invite a user via email?

I read the documentation and I saw the video on youtube but the interface has slightly changed and I cannot find a working way to add SMTP configuration in the instance settings.

I tried in the Instance Settings > Core tab there is only an input box but it seems related to the "Domain to display in webhooks for email triggers", so should not be related to the SMTP for email invitation.

Then I also tried in: Instance Settings > Alerts (although it says is an EE only feature) because this is the only place I can find where to put SMTP credentials. When I configure and try to send a test email I got the following error: "Error: I/O error: failed to lookup address information: No address associated with hostname @email_ee.rs:70:9".

Now the last thing I'm going to try is to set directly the env variables for SMTP, even in the documentation is marked as deprecated so I don't know if it still working or was already deprecated.

Latter is the correct option:

I can confirm to you the "Test SMTP" button works correctly.

Do it work also for Community Edition (I'm not using EE)?

Also for the test email address I'm using a personal gmail address, maybe the error is related to that?

I guess there are some issues with my self-hosted instance and I will read the docs again and debug to find the issue. 😃

I confirm now it's working 👍 ✅ the error was kinda right saying that the host was malformed.
