Email SMTP setup

Quando invii email da RACE RESULT 12 puoi utilizzare i nostri server per inviare un massimo di 10 email (escluse le email di conferma automatica della registrazione), oppure puoi connettere il tuo server SMTP per inviare un numero molto maggiore.

Dovrai trovare le impostazioni per il tuo server di posta SMTP, queste sono normalmente disponibili presso il tuo provider di hosting, normalmente il nome utente sarà il tuo indirizzo email con la password corrispondente.

Quando si configura il server SMTP per la prima volta è consigliabile testarlo inviando una e-mail a se stessi, questo può essere fatto in un evento di prova aggiungendosi come partecipante.

Di seguito sono riportate alcune impostazioni comuni del server SMTP. Tieni presente che queste impostazioni cambiano e potrebbero essere accurate solo fino alla data in cui sono state scritte, il 17/03/2020.
