Problem
How do I set up outbound SMTP in BoxBillings?
Solution
The following example assumes you have already got a fully functional BoxBilling eCommerce solution installed.
Log into your BoxBilling Admin area.
Under the Configuration Menu select "Settings", followed by "Email"
Now select the tab "Email Settings"
Set the "Email transport" as "SMTP".
Then enter the outMail settings you were provided with.
- SMTP Hostname = <outMail server provided in the welcome email>
- SMTP Port = 25 (or 587, 2525 or 8025)
- SMTP Username = <outMail username provided in the welcome email>
- SMTP Password = <outMail password provided in the welcome email>
- SMTP Security = None (see notes below on other options)
- Click "Update Email Settings"
Using SSL or TLS
First get the connector running with the Protocol set to none.
Once you're happy its working you can enable SSL or TLS encryption options by changing the "SMTP Security" field.
For SSL, remember you will need to change the port to 465.
For TSL, all ports are supported.
