Email SMTP Server Setup

PHP VERSION:

Most hosting account (servers) will use the default setup and do not require changing any of the default settings.

However, if you are using a PHP installation without PEAR enabled (php mail) or your server requires that you use an external SMTP server to send messages from the site, you can setup an SMTP server by going to 'Emails > 'Email Server Configuration'

ASP VERSION:

The email server setup (SMTP SERVER CONFIGURATION) is located in the web-based admin under the EMAILS section.

To access the SMTP configuration area, click on the ‘Emails’ tab on the top navigation bar and then click on the ‘Set Active Email (SMTP) Server Component (CDONTS, CDOSYS, ASPEmail, etc)’ link at the bottom of the page.

The majority of Windows-based webservers will use CDOSYS or CDONTS and may not require changing the default configuration. However, some webhosts will require you to enter the server address, username, password and port number to send messages through their SMTP server. If you are unsure if your webhost will require login information, consult your webhost support for the IIS SMTP login information for your windows hosting account.

After you have set the SMTP Component type and login information (If required), click on the ‘Update Configuration’ button.
