<h1>Email<a class="headerlink" href="#email" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>Nextcloud is capable of sending password reset emails, notifying users of new
file shares, changes in files, and activity notifications. Your users configure
which notifications they want to receive on their Personal pages.</p>
<p>Nextcloud does not contain a full email server, but rather connects to your
existing mail server. You must have a functioning mail server for Nextcloud to be
able to send emails. You may have a mail server on the same machine as Nextcloud,
or it may be a remote server.</p>
<div class="figure">
<img alt="../_images/smtp-config-wizard.png" src="../_images/smtp-config-wizard.png" />
</div>
<p>With the wizard, connecting Nextcloud to your mail server is fast and easy.
The wizard fills in the values in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">config/config.php</span></code>, so you may use either
or both as you prefer.</p>
<p>The Nextcloud Email wizard supports three types of mail server connections:
SMTP, qmail, and Sendmail. Use the SMTP configurator for a remote server or
Sendmail when your mail server is on the same machine as Nextcloud.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">The Sendmail option refers to the Sendmail SMTP server and any
drop-in Sendmail replacement such as Postfix, Exim, or Courier. All of
these include a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sendmail</span></code> binary, and are freely-interchangeable.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="configuring-an-smtp-server">
<h2>Configuring an SMTP server<a class="headerlink" href="#configuring-an-smtp-server" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>You need the following information from your mail server administrator to
connect Nextcloud to a remote SMTP server:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Encryption type: None, SSL/TLS, or STARTTLS</li>
<li>The From address you want your outgoing Nextcloud mails to use</li>
<li>Whether authentication is required</li>
<li>Authentication method: None, Login, Plain, or NT LAN Manager</li>
<li>The server’s IP address or fully-qualified domain name and the SMTP port</li>
<li>Login credentials (if required)</li>
</ul>
<div class="figure">

</div>
<p>Your changes are saved immediately, and you can click the Send Email button to
test your configuration. This sends a test message to the email address you
configured on your Personal page. The test message says:</p>

<h2>Configuring Sendmail/qmail<a class="headerlink" href="#configuring-sendmail-qmail" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Configuring Sendmail or qmail requires only that you select one of them
instead of SMTP, and then enter your desired return email address.</p>
<p>In most cases the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SMTP</span></code> option is best, since you will be able to control all
of your mail server options in one place, in your mail server configuration then.</p>

<div class="section" id="using-email-templates">
<h2>Using email templates<a class="headerlink" href="#using-email-templates" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>We designed a mechanism that generates emails which follow the theming
settings and look the same in all the different email clients out there.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">If, for some reason, you need text-only emails, consider simply configuring
this on the client side or let the receiving (or even sending) mail server drop the
HTML part. Note that there is no security impact from <strong>sending</strong> HTML emails, just
from displaying them and thus any security risk can only be mitigated by disabling
showing HTML on the client (or removing the HTML part in the mail server).</p>

<h3>Modifying the look of emails beyond the theming app capabilities<a class="headerlink" href="#modifying-the-look-of-emails-beyond-the-theming-app-capabilities" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>You can overwrite templates by writing a class that implements the template interface
(or extends it to not need to copy over everything). Easiest way is to then put this class into
an app and load it so you do not need to patch it on every update.</p>
<p>This is the interface of the class that needs to be implemented: <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/lib/public/Mail/IEMailTemplate.php">https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/lib/public/Mail/IEMailTemplate.php</a></p>
<p>That is the implementation that could be extended and used to see how it works: <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/lib/private/Mail/EMailTemplate.php">https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/lib/private/Mail/EMailTemplate.php</a></p>
<p>An example from <a class="reference external" href="https://portal.nextcloud.com/article/customized-email-templates-29.html">a GitHub issue</a>:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Look at the source code of extended class <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/lib/private/Mail/EMailTemplate.php">OC\Mail\EMailTemplate::class</a></li>
<li>Then override what you need in your own <cite>OC\Mail\EMailTemplate::class</cite> extension</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
<p>Let’s assume that we need to override the email header:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><?php
namespace \OCA\MyApp;
use OC\Mail\EMailTemplate;
class MyClass extends EMailTemplate
{
protected $header = <<<EOF
<table align="center" class="wrapper">
// your theme email header modification

EOF;
}
</pre></div>
</div>
<ol class="arabic" start="3">
<li><p class="first">Then in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">config/config.php</span></code> change <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mail_template_class</span></code> to your class namespace:</p>

<h2>Setting mail server parameters in config.php<a class="headerlink" href="#setting-mail-server-parameters-in-config-php" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>If you prefer, you may set your mail server parameters in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">config/config.php</span></code>.
The following examples are for SMTP, Sendmail, and Qmail.</p>
<div class="section" id="smtp">
<h3>SMTP<a class="headerlink" href="#smtp" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>If you want to send email using a local or remote SMTP server it is necessary
to enter the name or IP address of the server, optionally followed by a colon
separated port number, e.g. <strong>:425</strong>. If this value is not given the default
port 25/tcp will be used unless you change that by modifying the
<strong>mail_smtpport</strong> parameter.</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s2">"mail_smtpmode"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s2">"smtp"</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="s2">"mail_smtphost"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s2">"smtp.server.dom:425"</span><span class="p">,</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>or</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s2">"mail_smtpmode"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s2">"smtp"</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="s2">"mail_smtphost"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s2">"smtp.server.dom"</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="s2">"mail_smtpport"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="mi">425</span><span class="p">,</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If a malware or SPAM scanner is running on the SMTP server it might be
necessary that you increase the SMTP timeout to e.g. 30s:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s2">"mail_smtptimeout"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="mi">30</span><span class="p">,</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If the SMTP server accepts insecure connections, the default setting can be
used:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s2">"mail_smtpsecure"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s1">''</span><span class="p">,</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If the SMTP server only accepts secure connections you can choose between
the following two variants:</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="ssl">
<h3>SSL<a class="headerlink" href="#ssl" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>A secure connection will be initiated using the outdated SMTPS protocol
which uses the port 465/tcp:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s2">"mail_smtphost"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s2">"smtp.server.dom:465"</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="s2">"mail_smtpsecure"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s1">'ssl'</span><span class="p">,</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="tls">
<h3>TLS<a class="headerlink" href="#tls" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>A secure connection will be initiated using the STARTTLS protocol which
uses the default port 25/tcp:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s2">"mail_smtphost"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s2">"smtp.server.dom"</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="s2">"mail_smtpsecure"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s1">'tls'</span><span class="p">,</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>And finally it is necessary to configure if the SMTP server requires
authentication, if not, the default values can be taken as is.</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s2">"mail_smtpauth"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="n">false</span><span class="p">,</span>

<span class="s2">"mail_smtppassword"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s2">""</span><span class="p">,</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If SMTP authentication is required you have to set the required username
and password and can optionally choose between the authentication types
<strong>LOGIN</strong> (default) or <strong>PLAIN</strong>.</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s2">"mail_smtpauth"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="n">true</span><span class="p">,</span>

the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mail_smtpdebug</span></code> parameter in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">config/config.php</span></code>.</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s2">"mail_smtpdebug"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="n">true</span><span class="p">;</span>

<p><strong>Question</strong>: Why is my web domain different from my mail domain?</p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong>: The default domain name used for the sender address is the hostname
where your Nextcloud installation is served. If you have a different mail domain
name you can override this behavior by setting the following configuration
parameter:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s2">"mail_domain"</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s2">"example.com"</span><span class="p">,</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This setting results in every email sent by Nextcloud (for example, the password
reset email) having the domain part of the sender address appear as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">no</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">reply</span><span class="nd">@example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">com</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><strong>Question</strong>: How can I find out if an SMTP server is reachable?</p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong>: Use the ping command to check the server availability:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">ping</span> <span class="n">smtp</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">server</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">dom</span>

<p><strong>Question</strong>: How can I find out if the SMTP server is listening on a specific
TCP port?</p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong>: The best way to get mail server information is to ask your mail
server admin. If you are the mail server admin, or need information in a
hurry, you can use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">netstat</span></code> command. This example shows all active
servers on your system, and the ports they are listening on. The SMTP server is
listening on localhost port 25.</p>

<p><strong>Question</strong>: How can I determine if the SMTP server supports the outdated SMTPS
protocol?</p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong>: A good indication that the SMTP server supports the SMTPS protocol
is that it is listening on port <strong>465</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Question</strong>: How can I determine what authorization and encryption protocols
the mail server supports?</p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong>: SMTP servers usually announce the availability of STARTTLS
immediately after a connection has been established. You can easily check this
using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">telnet</span></code> command.</p>

<p><strong>Question</strong>: How can I send mail when using self-signed certificates if
remote SMTP server do not have options to allow this on their side?</p>
