# SMTP Settings
emSigner provides the option to configure a custom SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server. This allows organizations to use their own email server to send notifications and alerts directly from emSigner. By setting up a custom SMTP, companies can ensure that emails sent from emSigner reflect their domain, enhancing trust and maintaining brand consistency in communications.
Custom SMTP configuration typically involves specifying the SMTP server details, port, encryption method (SSL/TLS), and authentication credentials. Once set up, all emails generated by emSigner, such as document signing notifications or workflow alerts, will be sent via the organization's email server rather than emSigner’s default email service.
**Step 1:** Login to emSigner Super Admin account. Click on ‘Settings’ tab to open the Admin Settings. Click on ‘***SMTP Settings***’ below Admin Settings
**Step 2:** You will be navigated to the SMTP settings page, where you can set your own email server to send outgoing emails from emSigner to your users.
Once you have provided all the details on the mandatory fields, click on the “***Save”*** button. You have successfully set up your custom SMTP policy.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://support.emsigner.com/administrator-settings/admin-settings/smtp-settings.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
