• It's an application for mail servers to send/receive/relay an outbound email between its sender and receiver.
• It has single or multiple addresses.
• Locate the SMTP email server address in your mail client's account or settings section.

SMTP Port

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Port

• SMTP port is a communication endpoint of a device connected to a network.
• Each port has a particular purpose and is associated with a specific protocol.
• Usually, outgoing servers employ port 25 as the default SMTP port.

Sender Email ID

Enter the email address you wish to be the default sender ID for all the scheduling purposes.

The Sender Email ID is used

• As one of the email addresses in the "From" field in dashboard scheduling, the email address should be registered in this domain.
• As the only email in the workflow scheduling
• To send emails to users for resetting the password and renewing a forgotten password

Sender Email Password

Enter a valid email password for the above email ID.

• The password is used internally. So the user need not remember it.
