Hi Mike,

Have a look whether the following resolves your issue:

> [https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/2830](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/2830)

Based on that, one potential resolution is to add “host: SMTPSERVER” to your playbook; without it the AWX docker node will attempt to connect to the conatainer’s localhost interface, and mail will be dropped…

Regards,  
Eugéne
