Welcome to the BoostBackup SMTP setup tutorial. This guide will walk you through the process of configuring your own SMTP credentials within the BoostBackup admin panel.
Step 1: Accessing Settings
First, log in to your BoostBackup admin panel. Once logged in, navigate to the settings section located in the left menu.
Step 2: Setting Up SMTP Credentials
In the settings section, you'll find a form with 5 inputs about sending server:
- SMTP Host
- SMTP Port
- SMTP Username
- SMTP Password
- SMTP Encryption
Fill in your own SMTP credentials into these fields and save the changes.
Optional: Creating Your Own SMTP Server
If you don't have your own SMTP server, you can create one using a third-party service like Mailgun. Follow these steps to set up an account and obtain the necessary credentials:
Step 1: Sign Up for Mailgun
Visit the Mailgun website (https://www.mailgun.com/) and sign up for an account.
Step 2: Verify Your Domain
Once signed up, follow the instructions to verify your domain. This typically involves adding DNS records provided by Mailgun to your domain registrar's settings.
Step 3: Obtain SMTP Credentials
After your domain is verified, navigate to the SMTP settings section within your Mailgun dashboard. Here, you'll find your SMTP hostname, port, username, and password.
Example SMTP Credentials:
- Hostname: smtp.mailgun.org
- Port: 587 (or 465 for SSL)
- Username: your_smtp_username
- Password: your_smtp_password
- Encryption: TLS
Step 4: Fill in BoostBackup Form
Once you have obtained your SMTP credentials from Mailgun or any other SMTP service, fill in the corresponding fields in the BoostBackup settings form:
- SMTP Host: smtp.mailgun.org (or your SMTP host)
- Port: 587 (or your SMTP port)
- Username: your_smtp_username (or your SMTP username)
- Password: your_smtp_password (or your SMTP password)
- Encryption: TLS (or your chosen encryption)
Save the changes, and you're all set!
