Created: 20.07.2022
Updated: 09.12.2024 | Description of Enable SMTP TLS extended.

From version 6.5.0.20, it is possible to use the Python function vtcapp.sendmail() to send emails from Vertec.

Vertec Cloud Suite customers receive 1,000 emails per month per customer, free of charge, through a Mailgun account provided by Vertec. If you are a Cloud Suite customer and use this offer, you do not need to set up anything here. In this case, the sender address is always noreply@vertec-cloud.com .

Vertec Cloud Suite customers who want to use their own email account proceed in the same way as on-premises customers who want to use this service, and as described here.

This feature has been designed and tested for Mailgun (or similar services). The SMTP must be easily accessible; set up for 2FA, IP routing etc. is not possible.

To set up your own Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), you must activate the checkbox E-Mail Standardeinstellungen überschreiben (SMTP) and fill in the fields below.

Note on basic authentication via SMTP:

Microsoft deactivates authentication via basic authentication (username / password) for certain protocols in Exchange Online. However, this does not apply to authentication via the SMTP protocol. Therefore, basic authentication via SMTP is supported until further notice.

Override email default settings (SMTP)

To use your own SMTP, this checkbox must be selected.

PropertyName: OverrideSmtpDefaultSettings . BooleanProperty. Default: True.

SMTP host

SMTP host address.

PropertyName: SmtpHost . StringProperty.

SMTP password

PropertyName: SmtpPassword . StringProperty.

SMTP port

Optional. The default value depends on the Enable SMTP TLS (SmtpenableTls) setting, see below. If SmtpenableTls=True (default), the value is 465, otherwise 587.

PropertyName: SmtpPort . IntegerProperty.

SMTP default sender

If no value for the argument fromSender the Python function sendmail() is set, the default sender entered here is used.

PropertyName: SmtpDefaultSender . StringProperty.

Activate SMTP TLS

Optional. Controls the use of SSL/TLS.

  • If this option is activated (default), SMTPS is used instead of SMTP. SMTPS is the SSL/TLS secured variant of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.
  • If this option is not set, it will still try to secure the connection with STARTTLS. If the mail server does not support this, communication happens without TLS.

PropertyName: SmtpEnableTls . BooleanProperty. Default: True.

SMTP user name

PropertyName: SmtpUsername . StringProperty.
