SMTP Configuration

To send confirmation emails and enable the forgot password functionality, you must configure an SMTP server.

You can either:

• Configure SMTP from your own server (cPanel), or
• Use Google’s free SMTP server

SMTP Configuration from cPanel

Follow these steps to create an email account from cPanel:

1. Login to cPanel

Login to your cPanel account and find Email Accounts.

2. Create Email Account

Click Create.

Fill up the form and create a new email account. ⚠ Copy the password — you will need it later.

3. Get SMTP Credentials

Click Connected Devices.

You will see two configuration sections:

• SSL Configuration
• Non-SSL Configuration

Use SSL if your server has SSL enabled. Otherwise, use Non-SSL.

Save all the credential details for later use.

Google SMTP Server Configuration

Follow these steps to configure Gmail SMTP:

1. Login to Gmail

Login to your Gmail account.

Visit:

https://myaccount.google.com/security

2. Enable 2-Step Verification

Turn on 2-Step Verification from the Security page.

3. Generate App Password

Go to App Passwords (you may need to sign in again).

If you don’t see this option, possible reasons:

• 2-Step Verification is not enabled
• Your account is managed by work/school
• Advanced Protection is enabled

Select:

• App → Mail
• Device → Other (Custom Name)

Then click Generate.

You will receive a 16-character App Password.

Save this password for later use.

Click Done.

4. Enable Display Unlock Captcha

Visit:

https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

Enable it.

Setting the SMTP Configuration in Admin Panel

After collecting your SMTP credentials:

1. Log in to your Admin Panel
2. Go to Settings → SMTP Setting

Configure the Following Fields

• SMTP Host Example: smtp.yourdomain.com For Google: smtp.gmail.com

• SMTP Port

  • Non-SSL → 587
  • SSL → 465

• SMTP Username The email address used for SMTP Example: noreply@gmail.com

• SMTP Password The password you created (or Google App Password)

• SMTP Encryption

  • Non-SSL → tls
  • SSL → ssl

• Mail From The sender email address Example: noreply@gmail.com

After saving the settings, test email functionality to confirm everything works correctly.
