[RESOLVED]

This thread:

Lead me to understand error was due to security setting aimed at blocking spoofed email

So recap when setting up Discourse with MIAB make the app.yml

## TODO: The mailserver this Discourse instance will use
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: box.server1.us         # (mandatory)
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587                        # (optional)
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: discourse@server1.us      # (optional)
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: woowooithides               # (optional, WARNING the char '#' in pw can cause problems!)
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true           # (optional, default true)
DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: "plain"
DISCOURSE_SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE: none

& change the notification email option in the admin panel required settings to match the MIAB account sending out the mail
