SMTP Authentication

Post by wniefert »

We would like to configure SMTP with outgoing authentication and SSL encryption.

Version: phpMyFAQ 2.9.7 on Hostgator with Linux host and PHP 7.1 installed

Example settings for Microsoft 365:

smtp_server = smtp.office365.com
smtp_port = 587
smtp_connection_mode = TLS
smtp_authentication = yes
auth_username = <email>
auth_password = ...

Another option is to use the regular SMTP settings for stanadard hosts:

Outgoing Server: alto.websitewelcome.com
SMTP Port: 465
Authentication is required SMTP

The phpMyFAQ only has limited fields in the admin area of the user interface. Is there a file we can update to use the above settings?

Reason for this request: Without authentication the emails from phpMyFAQ always end up in the SPAM folder.

Thank you
W

Hi,

right, we don't support SMTP authentication via TLS currently, we can add this for 2.10. Please add a feature request here if you need this feature: https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/issues
