SMTP

Liferay (SMTP)

Send email from your Liferay instance through MailBlastr over SMTP.

Liferay sends notifications and account emails over SMTP. Configure your instance to use the MailBlastr relay and authenticate with your API key so those emails are delivered and tracked in your dashboard.

Prerequisites

A MailBlastr API key.
A verified domain to send from.

1. Get your SMTP credentials

You'll configure Liferay with the following MailBlastr credentials:

Hoststringoptional

smtp.mailblastr.com

Portnumberoptional

465 (implicit TLS) or 587 (STARTTLS).

Usernamestringoptional

mailblastr

Passwordstringoptional

Your API key, e.g. mb_xxxxxxxxx.

2. Configure mail in Liferay

Logged in as the admin user, navigate to Control Panel → Server Administration → Mail, then enter the MailBlastr SMTP details:

Setting	Value
Outgoing SMTP Server	`smtp.mailblastr.com`
Outgoing Port	`465`
Enable StartTLS	`True`
User Name	`mailblastr`
Password	Your API key, e.g. `mb_xxxxxxxxx`

Replace the password with an existing API key or create a new one on the API keys page. For the additional JavaMail properties, you can use:

mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true
mail.smtp.starttls.required=true

The from-address Liferay sends with must be on a domain you have verified in MailBlastr, otherwise sends will be rejected.
