DirectAdmin SMTP Configuration: Steps
The following steps help to configure SMTP on DirectAdmin:
Firstly, we have to create an email account in DirectAdmin.
Now we can configure incoming emails in the email program with the below settings:
For IMAP server:
server or host: mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM (change YOURDOMAIN.COM for the domain which we use)
port for STARTTLS: 143
port for SSL/TLS: 993
port for unsecured connections: 143
user or login: Your full email address
authentication method: standard password
For POP server:
server or host: mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM (change YOURDOMAIN.COM for domain which You use)
port for STARTTLS: 110
port for SSL/TLS: 995
port for unsecured connections: 110
user or login: Your full email address
authentication method: standard password
Then we can configure outgoing emails with below settings:
SMTP server:
server or host: mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM (change YOURDOMAIN.COM for domain which You use)
port for STARTTLS: 587
port for SSL/TLS: 465
port for unsecured connections: 587
user or login: Your full email address
authentication method: standard password
1 - We have to provide the password we used to create the email account in DirectAdmin when we connect to the email account for the first time.
2 - We might occasionally need to accept a server SSL certificate. We may need to check an option like “Accept untrusted certificates” on some email systems.
3 - If you willing to use SMTP in php application to send notifications then please submit request to whitelist email to send mail from code. Raise ticket with reason to allow.
