Outbound Email (SMTP)
Configure SMTP settings and validate email delivery with a test message.

Definitions
  • SMTP Host / Port: Your email provider’s server and port (commonly 587 for TLS).
  • Use SSL/TLS: Enables encrypted SMTP sessions.
  • Use default credentials: Uses server credentials instead of username/password (depends on environment).
  • Keep existing password: Leave password blank to retain the stored encrypted secret.
  • From Email / From Name: The sender identity used in outbound notifications.

How to configure SMTP
  1. Go to Admin Hub → Outbound Email (SMTP)
  2. Click Load current to view existing values
  3. Enter/confirm Host, Port, SSL/TLS, Username
  4. If you do not want to change the saved password:
    • Leave Password blank
    • Check Keep existing password
  5. Set From Email and From Name
  6. Click Save settings

How to send a test email
  1. Enter a recipient address in Send test email (to)
  2. Click Send test
  3. Confirm delivery in the recipient inbox (and spam/junk folder)
Common Issue: Some providers require verifying the “From” domain before sending (DMARC/SPF verification).
