Overview
In the Email Setup page of System Admin, you can set your SMTP Server information for sending e-mail notifications and voicemail to e-mail.

APPLICATION NOTE

Please note that due to the security settings of some mail servers, such as 1and1, GMail, etc., you may need to manually configure
additional settings.

Logging In
On the top menu click Admin
In the drop down click System Admin
In the right side navigation menu click Email Setup

SMTP Server
You can select Use Built In SMTP Server or Use External SMTP Server. This option will affect which options are displayed.

Use Built In SMTP Server

APPLICATION NOTE

The built-in SMTP server method will increase a message's SPAM rating. You want to make sure you whitelist the email address for
your server in your SPAM filters. If you are not receiving emails, check your "Bulk" or "SPAM" folder.

If you wish to use the built-in SMTP server, select the Use Built In SMTP Server button. (Dark blue = selected)

Then fill in the Hostname, Origin, and Domain, and save your settings.
My Hostname
The internet hostname (also known as the Reverse DNS) of this mail system. The default is to use the Reverse DNS lookup name from
gethostname().

My Origin
The domain that locally-posted mail appears to come from. The default is the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the PBX.

My Domain
The local internet domain name. The default is to use $myhostname minus the first component.

Save

Use External SMTP Server

If you wish to use an external SMTP server from Gmail or another provider, select the Use External SMTP Server button.

Then, select the which SMTP provider to use (GMail or Other). This will affect other options as described below.

Using GMail as the SMTP Provider

With GMail selected as the provider type, enter your SMTP server Username and Password.

For Username, enter your full GMail address.

For Password, enter your GMail account password.
 Using an "Other" SMTP Provider
With "Other" selected as the provider type, enter either a FQDN or an IP address for the SMTP server. If a port is required, add a colon
and the port after the server address, i.e. "mysmtp.example.com:2525."

Then, select whether to use authentication.

No Authentication

If your SMTP server does not require authentication, select No Authentication.

Use Authentication

If your SMTP server requires authentication, select Use Authentication. Then enter your SMTP Server Username and Password.

Debug
On the bottom of the page is a Debug button. Click this button to go to the debug page. On the SMTP Email Debug page, you can send a test e-
mail and see the last 50 lines of your mail log.

To send a test e-mail, enter an address in the Email Address field and click the Submit button or use the return/enter key. A test e-mail will be
sent with a subject identifying it as a test email from your phone system. The message body reminds the recipient not to reply to the message. Th
e page will automatically reload, and you will be able to see the results of the test in the log.
