How to send Email

PageGate supports two methods of email delivery: Relayed and Direct

Unless you plan on using PageGate as a mail server in its' own right and are using the GetMail interface, you'll configure PageGate to deliver email through an SMTP/email server. To do that with most modern mail 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 full mail server engine and this gives you the ability to use PageGate as an email server to deliver email directly to the outside world. Since PageGate would be functioning as a mail server in this configuration, you MUST provision it as such on all appropriate email domain DNS records (SPF, DKIM, etc). If you don't, the system will absolutely look like it's spoofing and/or spamming email traffic and your traffic will get rejected by the hosts you try to send to.
