How to Configure Joomla to Send Emails
Our Email Server requires SMTP authentication for PHP Email. The regular PHP Mail function does not use SMTP authentication would not work. As such, you have to configure your Joomla website to use SMTP Authentication. Also, the Sender of the Email address must be a valid email address that is hosted on our server (your domain email).
If you have not yet created an email at your domain, please do so first, then use the email that you created at your domain for the following SMTP configuration steps for your Joomla website. Please visit How to Create Email Accounts and Check WebMail.
