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
- For IMAP server:
- 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
- SMTP server:
- 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.
- 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.
