To configure the SMTP server, you must at least set `smtp-server-listen` and `smtp-server-domain`:
* `smtp-server-listen` defines the IP address and port the SMTP server will listen on, e.g. `:25` or `1.2.3.4:25`
* `smtp-server-domain` is the e-mail domain, e.g. `ntfy.sh`
* `smtp-server-domain` is the e-mail domain, e.g. `ntfy.sh` (must be identical to MX record, see below)
* `smtp-server-addr-prefix` is an optional prefix for the e-mail addresses to prevent spam. If set to `ntfy-`, for instance,
only e-mails to `ntfy-$topic@ntfy.sh` will be accepted. If this is not set, all emails to `$topic@ntfy.sh` will be
accepted (which may obviously be a spam problem).

You can check if everything is working correctly by sending an email as raw SMTP via `nc`. Create a text file, e.g.
`email.txt`
```
EHLO example.com
MAIL FROM: phil@example.com
RCPT TO: ntfy-mytopic@ntfy.sh
DATA
Subject: Email for you
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Hello from 🇩🇪
.
```
And then send the mail via `nc` like this. If you see any lines starting with `451`, those are errors from the
ntfy server. Read them carefully.
```
$ cat email.txt | nc -N ntfy.sh 25
220 ntfy.sh ESMTP Service Ready
250-Hello example.com
...
250 2.0.0 Roger, accepting mail from <phil@example.com>
250 2.0.0 I'll make sure <ntfy-mytopic@ntfy.sh> gets this
```
As for the DNS setup, be sure to verify that `dig MX` and `dig A` are returning results similar to this:
```
$ dig MX ntfy.sh +short
10 mx1.ntfy.sh.
$ dig A mx1.ntfy.sh +short
3.139.215.220
```
## Behind a proxy (TLS, etc.)
!!! warning
If you are running ntfy behind a proxy, you must set the `behind-proxy` flag. Otherwise, all visitors are
