Email settings

This information is used when the board sends emails to your users. Please ensure the email address you specify is valid, any bounced or undeliverable messages will likely be sent to that address. If your host does not provide a native (PHP based) email service you can instead send messages directly using SMTP. This requires the address of an appropriate server (ask your provider if necessary). If the server requires authentication (and only if it does) enter the necessary username, password and authentication method.

General settings

If this is set to disabled no emails will be sent by the board at all. Note the user and admin account activation settings require this setting to be enabled. If currently using “user” or “admin” activation in the activation settings, disabling this setting will disable registration.

Instead of showing the users email address users are able to send emails via the board.

This is the number of maximum emails sent out in one package. This setting is applied to the internal message queue; set this value to 0 if you have problems with non-delivered notification emails.

If necessary, set this to not exceed the maximum number of recipients that your email server will allow in one email message.

This address will be used whenever a specific contact point is needed, e.g. spam, error output, etc. It will always be used as the From and Reply-To address in emails.

This is the contact name that e-mail recipients will see. If you don’t want to have a contact name, leave this field empty.

This will be used as the from address on all emails, the technical contact email address. It will always be used as the Sender address in emails.

This will set the Return-Path to the from email address instead of using the local user and hostname of the server. This setting does not apply when using SMTP.
Warning: Requires the user that the webserver runs as to be added as trusted user to the sendmail configuration.

This text will be attached to all emails the board sends.

This function keeps email addresses completely private.

This will send a test email to the address defined in your account.
SMTP settings

Select “Yes” if you want or have to send email via a named server instead of the local mail function.

Do not provide a protocol (ssl:// or tls://) unless your mail host tells you to do so.

Only change this if you know your SMTP server is on a different port.

Only used if a username/password is set, ask your provider if you are unsure which method to use.

Only enter a username if your SMTP server requires it.

Only enter a password if your SMTP server requires it.
Warning: This password will be stored as plain text in the database, visible to everybody who can access your database or who can view this configuration page.

Require verification of SSL certificate used by SMTP server.
Warning: Connecting peers with unverified SSL certificates may cause security implications.

Require verification of peer name for SMTP servers using SSL / TLS connections.
Warning: Connecting to unverified peers may cause security implications.

Allow connections to SMTP server with self-signed SSL certificate.
Warning: Allowing self-signed SSL certificates may cause security implications.
