SMTP Integration

The SMTP Integration allows FaxStore to send emails through a mail server or a third-party email provider. This provides full control over how FaxStore delivers transactional emails such as:

• Purchase confirmations

• Account notifications

• Password resets

• System alerts

• Marketing content

FaxStore supports any SMTP-compatible mail server, including self-hosted mail servers or third-party providers. However, the provider must follow the generalised standard and not use a custom SMTP flow.
