EMAIL CONFIGURATION

In order to send mails from the application, you need to configure the mail server settings in the administration area. 

Although you can still either use Azure Communication Services (ACS) or SMTP, make sure you switch to ACS as soon as possible, since SMTP is deprecated and not recommended.

AZURE COMMUNICATION SERVICES (ACS)

This option adds a domain that you already own. The following 4 DNS entries are necessary for domain verification and email authentication.

• TXT name: <your_domain>
  value: Please create a ticket to get this value.
  TTL: 3600
• TXT name: <your_domain>
  value: v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all
  TTL: 3600
• CNAME record name:  selector1-azurecomm-prod-net._domainkey
  value/target: selector1-azurecomm-prod-net._domainkey.azurecomm.net
  TTL: 3600
• CNAME record name: selector2-azurecomm-prod-net._domainkey
  value/target: selector2-azurecomm-prod-net._domainkey.azurecomm.net
  TTL: 3600

After successfully configuring ACS, emails are sent from donotreply@<your_domain>.

SMTP (deprecated)

You can find the necessary information about configuring SMTP in the documentation of your email server.
