Email Delivery
Configure PHP mail or SMTP and understand every delivery field.
Mail method
Choose how DoorFall sends email.
PHP mail()
Uses the web server PHP mail function. It requires working mail configuration on the hosting account.
SMTP
Connects directly to an SMTP server. SMTP is generally easier to authenticate and troubleshoot for production delivery.
Encryption
Used for SMTP.
STARTTLS normally uses port 587.
SSL/TLS commonly uses port 465.
None sends without transport encryption and should be used only when the mail provider explicitly requires it.
Always use the values supplied by the email provider.
From name
Sender name customers see.
Example:
Luna Hair Studio
From email
Sender email address. Use an address/domain your mail provider allows.
SMTP host
Mail server hostname.
Example:
smtp.example.com
SMTP port
SMTP connection port, commonly 587 or 465.
SMTP username
Authentication username supplied by the provider. It is often the complete email address.
SMTP password
SMTP account/app password.
If a password is already saved, leave this field blank to keep it.
Save email settings
Saves delivery configuration and all template edits on the page.
Send a test email
The test is sent to the Admin email configured under Settings.
Always send a test after changing SMTP details.
