Mail Server Settings
Path: System -> Email Services -> Mail Server Settings
Various kinds of Emails could be sent from the IPPBX system. The Emails could be automatically sent by the IPPBX
system in certain circumstances or manually sent by admin and operator users.
To configure the IPPBX system being able to send out emails, mail (SMTP) server needs to be configured at first
priority. At the initial system setup stage while you were going through the quick installation wizard, mail server
could be configured, if you’ve not done it from the wizard, it still can be configured from here.
We have built-in some popular Email service providers’ SMTP configuration templates for users to quickly deploy
their mail server.
 In the Mail Service Provider dropdown list select your Email service provider. If it’s not included here, please
choose Other.
 Once you have selected the mail service provider the SMTP Server field will be auto filled. Otherwise you’ll
have to manually input the SMTP Server address.
 Default SMTP service Port is 25, but with SSL/TLS it would be 465. Otherwise you’ll have to input the actual
port number your mail service provider uses.
 SSL encrypts a communication channel between the IPPBX system and the SMTP server. Most of the mail
service providers have implemented SSL support.
 In the Email field input the Email account to be used by the IPPBX system, all mails from the IPPBX system will
be sent out by this mail account.
 In Password field input the password of the Email account you have specified.
Once done the above settings, click on the button to make configurations effective. And you may click on
button and input an Email address to send a test email to verify if the mail server is successfully deployed.
You may need to activate SMTP service from your Email web portal before you can successfully
configure SMTP server on the IPPBX system.
