When defining a new SMTP server, you can specify the following properties:
Server name |
Specifies the domain name or IP address of the SMTP server. If the connection to the server should use a different port than 25, please include it in the name.
Enter localhost if you wish to use the server provided by your local machine. |
Username |
If the SMTP server requires authentication, you can enter the user name here. |
Password |
If the SMTP server requires authentication, you can enter the password here. |
Use SSL |
Indicates if the SMTP connection to the server should be secured by SSL. The server must be configured to use SSL in order for this to work. |
Priority |
When an e‑mail (or batch of e‑mails) needs to be sent out, the system checks the SMTP servers in the order of their priority and uses the first one that is available. As a result, servers with a higher priority will receive a greater e‑mail load.
The server with the highest priority for each website is the default SMTP server configured in Site Manager -> Settings -> System -> E‑mails. If this server is busy or undefined, the e‑mail checks for any available server with the High priority, then Normal and finally Low. |
The checkbox below the properties indicates if the server should automatically be assigned to the current site. At any time, you can configure which sites the server should be available for by editing (
) it on the Sites tab.
Click Save to confirm the entered values and create the server.
More information about SMTP servers and e‑mail processing can be found in Developer's Guide -> Installation and deployment -> Additional configuration tasks -> SMTP server configuration.
