Reliable Messaging via SMTP
By default, Joomla uses the PHP Mail function. However, this often leads to your emails landing in spam or not arriving at all. For professional Swiss web hosting, we strongly recommend using SMTP.
The Correct Settings:
Go to System -> Global Configuration -> Server. On the right side, you will find the Mail settings:
- Mailer: Select "SMTP".
- SMTP Host: Your server name (e.g., server.curiaweb.ch) or localhost.
- SMTP Port: 465 (with SSL) or 587 (with TLS).
- SMTP Security: SSL/TLS or STARTTLS.
- SMTP Authentication: Yes.
- SMTP Username: Your full email address (e.g., info@your-domain.ch).
Tip: Test the connection with the "Send Test Email" button. If you haven't created an email address yet, you can do so at any time in your Client Area via cPanel.
