How to Set Up SMTP for Email via SendGrid
SendGrid, a popular email service provider, allows users to send emails via SMTP using the following configurations:
SMTP Server Details
- SMTP Server/Host:
smtp.sendgrid.net - SMTP Port:
587
Authentication Information
- SMTP User Name:
apikey - SMTP Password: YOUR_SENDGRID_API_KEY
Additional Information
- SendGrid requires the use of an API key instead of a traditional username and password for authentication. This enhances security by allowing you to restrict permissions based on your needs.
- Ensure your application or email client is configured to use TLS encryption on port 587 to secure email transmissions.
