Send form mail using an SMTP relay server
If you want to use your website to send form mail, like submissions to a contact us form, you'll need to connect to our mail relay server.
Sending mail through other providers isn't allowed, so you'll need to use the following settings:
Port: 25
SMTP Authentication: False or none
SSL or Secure Connection: None
Server or Host: The relay server you need to use depends on the type of hosting and script you use.
What type of hosting account do I have?
Linux (cPanel)
Use localhost
unless:
- You use PHP script and the
mail()
function. - You use Perl script and the
/usr/lib/sendmail
binary.
In those cases, you do not need to specify a relay server.
Windows (Plesk)
Use relay-hosting.secureserver.net
unless you use PHP script and the mail()
function, in which case, you do not need to specify a relay server.
