PhireFast allows you to send email locally without using SMTP, but for security purposes, emails with a destination outside of our network will need to be sent via SMTP. This is especially important to consider if you are a web developer or programmer. You'll want to write your scripts to comply with our sending practices.
All major content management systems support SMTP emailing.
Why?
This is a network-wide preventative measure. If a spam outbreak should occur, SMTP requires more information and adds tracking information which we can use to track and stop email abuse.
How?
You must first create an email account which your script can send email through. Then you can use the following:
SMTP host: localhost
SMTP port: 25 (26 will also work)
SMTP user: email@yourdomain.com <-- NOTE: This is only a demonstration email address
SMTP pass: password you createIf you have any questions, please reach out to us via our Helpdesk.
