SMTP Settings

OptiTune supports using a custom SMTP server for sending all emails for your organization. To configure custom SMTP settings, click on the "Server Settings" tab, select "Advanced Settings", and click on "SMTP Settings".

Fill out the following fields with your SMTP server information. For example, if you are using Office 365, you can use the following settings:

Field	Value
Custom SMTP	Enabled
Host Name	smtp.office365.com
Port Number	587
Encryption	Enable SSL is checked
User Name	The email address of an Office 365 user
Password	The password of the Office 365 user
From Email	The display address that the emails will be sent from

If you want to send emails using a shared mailbox, you will still need a regular Office 365 user configured with full access to the shared mailbox. In the image above, "noreply@bravurasoftware.com" is an O365 user with full access to the "support@bravurasoftware.com" shared mailbox.

Select "Enabled" to use your own custom SMTP server, or "Disabled" to use the system SMTP settings, configured at the server level.

Host Name

Port Number
