Creating an SMTP Carrier

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the protocol that makes email delivery happen!

Unless you own the GetMail interface, PageGate will need to relay your SMTP/email traffic through an SMTP/email server. To do that with most modern SMTP servers, you'll need the answer to these questions:

•What SMTP server can you deliver traffic through?

•On what port should you connect?

•Is authentication required?

•Is OAUTH required?

Once you have the answer to those questions, click here to go through the steps to create an SMTP/email carrier.

If OAUTH is required, please also go through the OAUTH configuration steps as well.

PageGate's GetMail interface provides a mail server engine and this gives you the ability to use PageGate as a mail server to deliver email directly to the outside world. Since PageGate would be functioning as a mail server, it MUST be provisioned as such on all appropriate email domain DNS records (SPF, DKIM, etc) to function properly.

To note it, you could own GetMail and receive email into PageGate and still choose to relay some of that traffic back out through another SMTP/email server. Owning GetMail does not require you to use direct delivery, it simply opens it up as an option.
