SMTP (* administrator only)
To enable SMTP:
- Tick Enable SMTP to deliver and receive mails.
- If SMTP Authorization is required is ticked, you need to provide your DiskStation user account and password for authentication when setting SMTP server in other mail clients.

- If Enable SMTP-SSL is ticked, SSL secure connection will be supported when sending emails.
- If Ignore authorization for LAN connections is ticked, all connections except for LAN connections will have to provide user account and password for authentication.
To enter a domain name for Mail Server:
Fill in the Domain name field. If you would like to set a user's mail address as user@synology.com, then you need to specify the Domain name as synology.com.
To configure multiple domain names for Mail Server:
You can configure your Mail Server to be a multi-domain mail server. If a mail server has multiple domain names (for example: synology.com, synology.com.tw, and synology.com.us), you can send mails to the same user by specifying user@synology.com, user@synology.com.tw, or user@synology.com.us in the recipient address field.

- Click the Create button to add a domain name.
- Click the Edit button to edit a domain name.
- Click the Delete button to delete domain names.
To send mails via other SMTP Relay server:
Most ISPs block or reject mails from unknown domains. If you cannot send mails directly from your own domain, you may have to send them through well-known SMTP servers. You can configure SMTP Relay server on your Mail Server.
- Tick Enable SMTP Relay.
- Specify SMTP Server name and Port.
- Tick Always use a secure connection to provide encrypted connections when relaying mails.
If Authorization required is ticked, you need to provide account and password for SMTP Relay server to authenticate your mail server.
