Company outgoing server
This is a set of settings we define the settings for sending and receiving emails.
|
Server type
|
Select a server from the drop-down list. Two options are available: SMTP or IMAP.
|
|
Email sender
|
Enter the sender's email address.
|
| First and last name |
Enter the sender's first and last name. |
| Server name |
Enter the name of the server. |
| Port |
Enter the port code for accessing the server.
The default value is: 25.
|
| Timeout |
Enter a timeout specifying how many seconds PANTHEON should test the connection before it stops testing.
This value must be numeric!
|
| User name |
Enter the login details for your email address.
Depending on the email provider, enter your user name or email address.
|
| Password |
Enter the password linked to your email address. |
| Use TLS/SSL |
From the drop-down list, select one of the following options:
- Without – Without a security protocol.
- SSL/TLS – Use the security protocols.
- Auto – Automatically tries to retrieve SSL/TLS settings.
- Implicit SSL/TLS – Entered, but not defined.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and its successor Transport Layer Security (TLS) are cryptographic protocols that enable secure communication over the Internet, for example for web browsing, email and instant messaging. There are slight differences between the two protocols, however, in principle, they are identical.

HINT
Only forces TLS 1.2 for a secure socket. PANTHEON also supports TLS 1.2 for email communication. PANTHEON supports the older SSL protocols, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, which are required for clients residing on older mail servers without support for the newer TLS 1.2. Most servers will select the most commonly supported protocol.
Some servers disable client support for older protocols. In this case, you need to force the newer TLS 1.2 protocol to support email communication on these servers. If you select this option, PANTHEON will only publish support for TLS 1.2 in the secure communication layer. This means that the connection will be the most secure and the connection process will be the fastest.

|
| Use SASL |
SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) is a security framework for authentication and data security in Internet protocols.
Select Yes or No from the drop-down list.
|
| Enforce TLS 1.2 |
Certain servers use TLS encryption, including Gmail.
If TLS encryption is required by the mail server, check this checkbox.
|
| EHLO |
HELO is an Extended Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (ESMTP) command sent by an email server to identify itself when it connects to another email server and starts sending an email. It is followed by the domain name of the sender's email server. The EHLO command tells the receiving server that it supports ESMTP-compatible extensions. |
By clicking on the button Test server you can checks whether the SMTP server settings are properly configured.
The program reports in an information window whether the connection has been successfully established or not.
