Setting up AVideo Platform to send emails

You have two options for this.

1. You can use an email server for sendmail function as Postfix, try this tutorial

2. or you can use an external SMTP as Gmail or something else. but do not worry, you will just use the Gmail SMTP, but the domain can be @yourdomain.com. so even if you are using Gmail your email will still look professional.

A little-known feature about Gmail and Google Apps email is Google's portable SMTP server. Instead of having to manage your own outgoing mail server, you can simply configure Google's SMTP server.

You can find this configuration on Menu -> Site Configurations -> Advanced Configurations

Gmail's Default SMTP Settings

• Gmail SMTP server address: smtp.gmail.com
• Gmail SMTP username: Your Gmail address (e.g. example@gmail.com)
• Gmail SMTP password: Your Gmail password
• Gmail SMTP port (TLS): 587
• Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required: yes

2. Click here to access Less Secure App Access in My Account.
3. Next to “Allow less secure apps: OFF,” select the toggle switch to turn ON.

The Allow less secure apps setting is not available for accounts with 2-Step Verification enabled. Such accounts require an application-specific password for less secure apps access.
