Email alerts not working

Grafana
1

So I followed a guide and installed ssmtp and then successfully sent an email to myself via:
echo “E-Mail using the command-line” | ssmtp myself@me.org
Now I am trying to setup Grafana to send email alerts, but I fail.
I use my own paid hosting smtp server btw.

In Notification channels in the web gui I have added myself@me.org in Addresses.

[smtp]
enabled = true
host = mail.server:465
user = myself@me.org
# If the password contains # or ; you have to wrap it with triple quotes. Ex """#password;"""
password = password
;cert_file =
;key_file =
skip_verify = true
from_address = myself@me.org
from_name = Grafana
# EHLO identity in SMTP dialog (defaults to instance_name)
;ehlo_identity = dashboard.example.com
# SMTP startTLS policy (defaults to 'OpportunisticStartTLS')
;startTLS_policy = NoStartTLS

Error log:
t=2020-12-14T23:29:09+0000 lvl=eror msg="failed to send notification" logger=alerting.notifier uid= error="Failed to send notification to email addresses: myself@me.org: dial tcp: lookup mail.server: no such host" remote_addr=127.0.0.1

Error log doesn’t list 465 port after the host name, which I find odd (Grafana server restarted many times)
Usernames and host names altered for privacy.

Any ideas?

I actually found my mistake, which was pretty stupid.
Forgot to put .com in the hostname
host = mail.server:465
host = mail.server.com:465
