## Options
|
|
|
|
### host
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="integer" required="yes" >}}
|
|
|
|
The hostname of the SMTP server.
|
|
|
|
If utilising an IPv6 literal address it must be enclosed by square brackets and quoted:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
host: "[fd00:1111:2222:3333::1]"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### port
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="integer" required="yes" >}}
|
|
|
|
The port the SMTP service is listening on.
|
|
|
|
A connection is securely established with TLS after a succesful STARTTLS negotiation.
|
|
|
|
[Port 465 is an exception][docs-security-smtp-port] when supported by the mail server as a `submissions` service port.
|
|
STARTTLS negotiation is not required for this port, the connection is implicitly established with TLS.
|
|
|
|
[docs-security-smtp-port]: ../../overview/security/measures.md#smtp-ports
|
|
|
|
### timeout
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="duration" default="5s" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
The SMTP connection timeout.
|
|
|
|
### username
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="string" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
The username sent for authentication with the SMTP server. Paired with the password.
|
|
|
|
### password
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="string" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
*__Important Note:__ This can also be defined using a [secret](../methods/secrets.md) which is __strongly recommended__
|
|
especially for containerized deployments.*
|
|
|
|
The password paired with the [username](#username) sent for authentication with the SMTP server.
|
|
|
|
It's __strongly recommended__ this is a
|
|
[Random Alphanumeric String](../miscellaneous/guides.md#generating-a-random-alphanumeric-string) with 64 or more
|
|
characters and the user password is changed to this value.
|
|
|
|
### sender
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="string" required="yes" >}}
|
|
|
|
The sender is used to construct both the SMTP command `MAIL FROM` and to add the `FROM` header. This address must be
|
|
in [RFC5322](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5322.html#section-3.4) format. This means it must one of two formats:
|
|
|
|
* jsmith@domain.com
|
|
* John Smith <jsmith@domain.com>
|
|
|
|
The `MAIL FROM` command sent to SMTP servers will not include the name portion, this is only set in the `FROM` as per
|
|
specifications.
|
|
|
|
### identifier
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="string" default="localhost" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
The name to send to the SMTP server as the identifier with the HELO/EHLO command. Some SMTP providers like Google Mail
|
|
reject the message if it's localhost.
|
|
|
|
### subject
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="string" default="[Authelia] {title}" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
This is the subject Authelia will use in the email, it has a single placeholder at present `{title}` which should
|
|
be included in all emails as it is the internal descriptor for the contents of the email.
|
|
|
|
### startup_check_address
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="string" default="test@authelia.com" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
__Authelia__ checks the SMTP server is valid at startup, one of the checks requires we ask the SMTP server if it can
|
|
send an email from us to a specific address, this is that address. No email is actually sent in the process. It is fine
|
|
to leave this as is, but you can customize it if you have issues or you desire to.
|
|
|
|
### disable_require_tls
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="boolean" default="false" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
For security reasons the default settings for Authelia require the SMTP connection is encrypted by TLS. See [security]
|
|
for more information. This option disables this measure (not recommended).
|
|
|
|
### disable_starttls
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="boolean" default="false" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
Some SMTP servers ignore SMTP specifications and claim to support STARTTLS when they in fact do not.
|
|
For security reasons Authelia refuses to send messages to these servers.
|
|
This option disables this measure and is enabled *__AT YOUR OWN RISK__*. It's *__strongly recommended__*
|
|
that instead of enabling this option you either fix the issue with the SMTP server's configuration or
|
|
have the administrators of the server fix it. If the issue can't be fixed by configuration we recommend
|
|
lodging an issue with the authors of the SMTP server.
|
|
See [security] for more information.
|
|
|
|
### disable_html_emails
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="boolean" default="false" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
This setting completely disables HTML formatting of emails and only sends text emails. __Authelia__ by default sends
|
|
mixed emails which contain both HTML and text so this option is rarely necessary.
|
|
|
|
### tls
|
|
|
|
Controls the TLS connection validation process. You can see how to configure the tls section
|
|
[here](../prologue/common.md#tls-configuration).
|
|
|
|
## Using Gmail
|
|
|
|
You need to generate an app password in order to use Gmail SMTP servers. The process is described
|
|
[here](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en).
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
notifier:
|
|
smtp:
|
|
username: myaccount@gmail.com
|
|
# Password can also be set using a secret: https://www.authelia.com/configuration/methods/secrets/
|
|
password: yourapppassword
|
|
sender: admin@example.com
|
|
host: smtp.gmail.com
|
|
port: 587
|
|
```
|
