Configuring your SMTP settings is critical for sending bulk emails effectively. Here are the key components:
- SMTP Server Address: This is usually provided by your email service provider (e.g., smtp.example.com). - Port Number: Common port numbers are 25, 465 (for SSL), and 587 (for TLS). - Authentication: You need to enter your username and password for authentication. - Encryption: Use SSL or TLS to encrypt your emails to ensure security.
