SMTP Server for Outgoing Email from DSA Cloud AD

Your email server manager may need this information.

From them I need to get the information listed under the SMTP Accounts & Server Connection Parameters heading below.

At minimum I’ll need the domain name of the SMTP server.

White Listing / Security Info

The fixed IP of the Amazon AWS server that sends outgoing email with SMTP protocol for DSA Cloud AD:
34.215.118.213

SMTP Accounts & Server Connection Parameters

The host name
The port
The SSL authentication
The account information (username, password, etc.)

Server identification (host name): Type the SMTP server’s unique specification. Find that information on the service provider’s web page or on a POP/SMTP server list.
Port: Most SMTP functions optimally on port 25, although some are compatible with 587 as well. Check your server specifications for more information.
Connection security: SMTP doesn’t usually include email encryption, so secure your connections using STARTTLS or SSL/TLS extensions. You may want to use a different port for encrypted messages.

Recommendations

We recommend delivering the email through your company's SMTP email server.
For setup and test we provide by default, access to a gmail server account. For security we do not recommending using the default gmail server for production.

The values of the parameters in rows 2 to 6 usually must be obtained from the IT person managing the email server.
Expect to test the new settings and make adjustments as required. Common points of problems include:
- Network connection between the server hosting DSA AD or DSA Cloud AD and the email server.
- Network or email server security.
