28. General Settings » Outgoing Email

When the software needs to send emails, it uses the settings from Configuration » General Settings » Outgoing Email.

Outgoing Email Settings parameters:

● From Email – The email address appearing in the From field

● From Name – The sender’s displayed name

● Mailer – Console supports multiple mailing backends:

▪ None – Select this if email sending is not permitted

▪ PHP – Uses the PHP mail() function. May require configuring an MTA (Postfix, Qmail, Sendmail) on the Console server and adjusting php.ini

▪ SMTP – Bypasses a local MTA, requiring you to enter encryption details, server, port, and credentials

▪ Sendmail – Relies on the sendmail command; you’ll need an MTA configured (Postfix, Qmail, or Sendmail)

● SMTP Security – Security for SMTP connections:

▪ None – No encryption

▪ SSL – Use SSL encryption

▪ TLS – Use TLS encryption

● SMTP Server – The SMTP server address; separate multiple servers with a semicolon (“;”)

● SMTP Port – Typically 25 for unencrypted or 587 for SSL/TLS

● SMTP Login/Password – Credentials for authentication. If left empty, no authentication is performed

Note

If you’re not getting emails from Response actions, but test emails (via Test Settings) work, run the following from the CLI to check for errors:

php /opt/andrisoft/webroot/rep_reports.php
