Hi,

We’ve set up Taiga on our servers and successfully imported the projects. However, we’re facing an issue where emails aren’t sent when inviting people from the “Add members” section.

Taiga is hosted via Docker.

```

I have properly configured my .env file for email sending. Initially, Taiga could send emails for project ownership, confirming that the email setup was functioning correctly.
