Trouble setting up Email

Our instance is up but we are unable to send emails. I have sent a test email with mutt (while using exim4) and the test arrived yet anything sent from the Loomio app does not. I've been working on this for the last two weeks and have tried solution from other posters but to no avail. Is there a way to remove the sent email requirement for signing in so we can at least use the program while working on the solution? Can I set a password through the rails console for individual users and work around the issue? Thanks in advance for you help.

P.S. I also had to sign into this site (loomio.org) through Google, as entering my email did not work. Is there an issue between loomio and email?
