Setting up Stash to use your SMTP mail server:
To configure a mail server for Stash, go to the administration area and click Mail server (under 'Settings'). See Supported platforms for the mail clients supported by Stash.
Complete the form and click Save.
Hostname | The hostname of the mail server (for example "localhost" or "192.168.1.15"). |
Port | The port of the mail server (if unspecified, the port 25 will be used). |
Username | The username to use to connect to the mail server. |
Password | The password to use to connect to the mail server. |
Use TLS | Check if the SMTP server you are connecting to uses TLS. |
Email from | Specifies the 'From' header in notification emails (for example: noreply@yourcompany.com). |
Anonymous User
If you are looking to setup the outgoing mail server as an anonymous user, simply leave the username and password fields empty. In Chrome, these fields could be auto-populated, leading to an error. Try with another browser to help work around it.
If you wish to connect to a Gmail account for email notifications in Stash, refer to the Configuring the Mail Server to Use Gmail guide.
In particular, note that Gmail won't show images in the email because of the way that Google loads images on their servers. For Google Apps, a Stash administrator can solve the problem by adding the Stash domain name to a whitelist – see https://support.google.com/a/answer/3299041?hl=en for more information.
