How to configure outgoing email settings

 Top  Previous  Next

The purpose of this task is to set up the email addresses and specify SMTP settings used by MailWasher Server.

The From address (daemon email address) is used for email sent by MailWasher Server, for example quarantined message summaries. The daemon return-path address receives bounces from emails sent by MailWasher Server, unless it is blank, in which case your mail server should silently drop the message.

See Outgoing email settings overview for more information on the effect of these options.
