SMTP server setup

Go in General Parameters > Advanced Parameters > SMTP:

  • Session key containing mail address: choose which session field contains mail address

  • SMTP Server: IP or hostname of the SMTP server

  • SMTP Port: Port of the SMTP server

  • SMTP User: SMTP user if authentication is required

  • SMTP Password: SMTP password if authentication is required

  • SSL/TLS protocol and SSL/TLS options: Here you can enable SMTPS or startTLS. A list of possible options can be found in the IO::Socket::SSL documentation.

Tip

  • If no SMTP server is configured, the mail will be sent via the local sendmail program. Else, Net::SMTP module is required to use the SMTP server

  • The SMTP server value can hold the port, for example: mail.example.com:25

Warning

  • Older versions of the Email::Sender library have limitations when it comes to SMTPS or STARTTLS support. Versions lower than 1.300027 will not be able to check the remote server certificate or use custom IO::Socket::SSL options.

  • Mail headers:

    • Mail sender: address seen in the “From” field (default: noreply@[DOMAIN])

    • Reply address: address seen in the “Reply-To” field

    • charset: Charset used for the body of the mail (default: utf-8)
