2021.2

Email (SMTP) preferences
SMTP server presets can be selected when sending emails using either the Send Email or
Send Test Email dialog. (See "Send (Test) Email" on page1021 and "Email header settings"
on page531 in the Online Help: https://help.objectiflune.com/en/planetpress-connect-user-
guide/2021.2/). For all presets, the password is not saved and must be re-entered when
sending emails.
l The Add, Edit and Delete buttons let you create and manage the presets.
l SMTP Host Settings: These settings can be made or edited after clicking the Add or Edit
button.
l Name: The name of the preset. This will show up in the Send Email dialog.
l Host: The SMTP server through which the emails are to be sent. Can be a host
(mail.domain.com) or an IP address.
Tip
Gmail only allows Connect to be used as an SMTP client when "Access for
less secure apps" is enabled in the Google account settings.
l Port: The specified port number will be added to the host name, for example:
smtp.mandrillapp.com:465.
Note
If the mail server supports it, the connection will be encrypted without the need
to send the server a STARTTLS instruction when port 465 is used.
l Use authentication: Check if a user name and password are needed to send
emails through the host.
l Send STARTTLS: Enabled if authentication is checked. With STARTTLS the client
negotiates with the mail server to use some form of encryption, usually a version of
Transport Layer Security (TLS). Since this improves security it is recommend to
enable this option if you use port 25 (the default port), 2525, or 587.
Note that the email will not be sent if the SMTP server does not support TLS or SSL
(an older encryption type).
