Question Configure SMTP in Plesk, combine it with WordPress

[Carlos Nog]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.65

Hello,

I want to configure Plesk's SMTP, also correctly setting what the WordPress plugin that is used to enable SMTP asks me for.





As you can see in the image, I have enabled the configuration in Plesk, and I have port 25 open.







These two images show the configuration of the WordPress SMTP plugin.
where they ask me:
1. server name
2. security type (ssl)
3. port
4. username
5. password.

What would be the correct data in those 5 plugin requirements?
Thank you

You should be able to configure the plugin with the following details:

• SMTP Host: server hostname, e.g. yourservername.com (please note that it must not be an URL address as shown in the screenshot)
• SMTP Port: 587
• Encryption: TLS
• Username: [email protected]
• Password: the password you set when you created your email account
• Authentication: Yes

Thank you for the details, Carlos. I can see the domain name in one of the screenshots you provided and it looks like the same is pointed to Cloudflare by nameservers. Could you please confirm if you synced the DNS zone already and if the SPF/DKIM records are present in the Cloudflare DNS zone?

Hello.

It's already solved.

I put the DNS records that Plesk gives me for my domain in Cloudflare.

Thank you
