Authenticated mail (SMTP) from a website
This guide details the sending of authenticated e-mail from a website hosted by Infomaniak using an SMTP configuration . This requires a courier service.
It is also possible to configure the sendings so that they are done via the PHP function mail() but it is not recommended.
SMTP Configuration Example
If you have an email address whose domain is linked to your website (e.g. email@domain-of-your-site.com) fill in its details in order to use it for sending from a web server via SMTP:
WordPress
- login to the WordPress admin board
- install an SMTP extension ( WP Mail SMTP works)
- configure the extension. Example:
Therefore, an e-mail sent from a contact form present on the site (Divi default form for example) will be sent via an SMTP method. To be sure, just look at the headers of a message sent this way, in particular the line "x-mailer" which will mention, for example, "WPMailSMTP/Mailer/smtp" instead of "x-mailer: PHPMailer" .
Joomla
- login to your Joomla admin panel
- go to Configuration then Server
- configure sending via SMTP:
