# 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.
