Setting up SMTP
Fields that require configuration.
SMTP hosts
Give the full name of one or more local SMTP servers that Moodle should use to send mail (eg 'mail.a.com' or 'mail.a.com;mail.b.com'). To specify a non-default port (i.e other than port 25), you can use the [server]:[port] syntax (eg 'mail.a.com:587'). For secure connections, port 465 is usually used with SSL, port 587 is usually used with TLS, specify security protocol below if required. If you leave this field blank, Moodle will use the PHP default method of sending mail.
Example: outlook.office365.com
SMTP security
If SMTP server requires secure connection, specify the correct protocol type.
Example: SSL
SMTP username
If you have specified an SMTP server above, and the server requires authentication, then enter the username and password here.
Example: moodle@hotmail.com
SMTP password
If you have specified an SMTP server above, and the server requires authentication, then enter the username and password here.
No-reply address
Emails are sometimes sent out on behalf of a user (eg forum posts). The email address you specify here will be used as the "From" address in those cases when the recipients should not be able to reply directly to the user (eg when a user chooses to keep their address private). This setting will also be used as the envelope sender when sending email.
Example: moodle@hotmail.com
If your email contiues to appear within users "Junk" or "Spam" folders and you need assistance configuring SMTP please get in touch with our support team at support@hubkengroup.com.
