Configure email settings¶
This section describes how to configure email settings for the SGMart e-Commerce CMS, which supports SMTP, SendGrid, MailGun, and SendMail. To configure the SMTP system, one needs to create an email from the server panel, then go to Admin Panel -> System Setup -> Email settings and select SMTP mail driver. It is noted that this email setting is crucial for email verification and sending news to subscribers.
The form fields to fill include:
* MAIL_DRIVER
: Email driver, default is smtp.
* MAIL_HOST
: Email host, e.g., smtp.mailtrap.io.
* MAIL_PORT
: Outgoing email port, e.g., 2525 or 465.
* MAIL_USERNAME
: Outgoing email username.
* MAIL_PASSWORD
: Outgoing email password.
* MAIL_ENCRYPTION
: Default is null, other options are tls and ssl.
* MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS
: The email address that sends emails (your company address).
* MAIL_FROM_NAME
: Your company name that appears on emails.
The page also mentions that SendGrid and MailGun mail drivers can be configured in the same way.
