## E-mail notifications
|
||||||
|
To allow forwarding messages via e-mail, you can configure an SMTP server for outgoing messages. Once configured,
|
||||||
|
you can set the `X-Email` header to [send messages via e-mail](publish.md#e-mail-notifications) (e.g.
|
||||||
|
`curl -d "hi there" -H "X-Email: phil@example.com" ntfy.sh/mytopic`).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As of today, only SMTP servers with PLAIN auth and STARTLS are supported. To enable e-mail sending, you must set the
|
||||||
|
following settings:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `base-url` is the root URL for the ntfy server; this is needed for e-mail footer
|
||||||
|
* `smtp-addr` is the hostname:port of the SMTP server
|
||||||
|
* `smtp-user` and `smtp-pass` are the username and password of the SMTP user
|
||||||
|
* `smtp-from` is the e-mail address of the sender
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please also refer to the [rate limiting](#rate-limiting) settings below, specifically `visitor-email-limit-burst`
|
||||||
|
and `visitor-email-limit-burst`. Setting these conservatively is necessary to avoid abuse.
