SMTP

Sending mail is a common feature for ownCloud. After a large number of user practice feedback, only one way is recommended, that is, using the third-party STMP service to send the email.

Do not try to install Sendmail or other Mail server software on your Cloud Server for sending mail, because it is very difficulty in maintenance.

Follow is the sample using SendGrid's SMTP Service to configure sending mail for ownCloud:

1. Log in SendGrid console, prepare your SMTP settings like the follow sample

   SMTP host: smtp.sendgrid.net
   SMTP port: 25 or 587 for unencrypted/TLS email, 465 for SSL-encrypted email
   SMTP Authentication: must be checked
   SMTP Encryption: must SSL
   SMTP username: websoft9smpt
   SMTP password: #fdfwwBJ8f    
   

2. Log in ownCloud console as administrator, go to 【admin】>【Setting】>【Personal】>【General】, set send to Email address

3. Go to【Setting】>【Admin】>【General】>【Email Server】, select smtp for send mode and fill in the suitable smtp configuration

4. Click "Send email" to test your SMTP settings
