Setting up email
One of important site’s feature is an ability to send email on some user flow/action etc.
Let’s figure out how to configure it.
Go to the admin panel -> configuration -> SMTP Authentication Support
A first we’ll need to add a SMTP provider
-
It is a simply provider name, you may call it by username used, or like “Gmail”, etc.
-
SMTP server - should be a valid server hostname. Some of email providers (Gmail for example) usually have SMTP disabled by default, so you’ll need to enable it manually in your account settings.
-
This field is optional, fill it only if you’re sure it’s correct.
-
Another important option, depends on your mail provider. By default it is “25”
-
Usually it’s SSL, depend on your email provider too
-
Username usually should look like [email protected]
-
Password, pay attention on uppercase, lowercase and special symbols.
Submit this form.
Now, when you’re done, let’s try to send a test email.
Type your email address and save configuration.
If everything is OK - you’ll receive an email.
That’s it.
