# Email
|
||||
|
||||
{% hint style="info" %}
|
||||
The following email notification types are sent to _all_ users with the **Manage Requests** permission, as these notification types are intended for application administrators rather than end users:
|
||||
|
||||
- Media Requested
|
||||
- Media Automatically Approved
|
||||
- Media Failed
|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand, the email notification types below are only sent to the user who submitted the request:
|
||||
|
||||
- Media Approved
|
||||
- Media Declined
|
||||
- Media Available
|
||||
|
||||
{% endhint %}
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Sender Address (required)
|
||||
|
||||
Set this to the email address you would like to appear in the "from" field of the email message.
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on your email provider, this may need to be an address you own. For example, Gmail requires this to be your actual email address.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sender Name (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Configure a friendly name for the email sender.
|
||||
|
||||
### SMTP Host
|
||||
|
||||
Set this to the hostname or IP address of your SMTP host/server.
|
||||
|
||||
### SMTP Port
|
||||
|
||||
Set this to a supported port number for your SMTP host. `465` and `587` are commonly used.
|
||||
|
||||
### Enable SSL (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
This setting should only be enabled for ports that use [implicit SSL/TLS](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8314) (e.g., port `465` in most cases).
|
||||
|
||||
For servers that support [opportunistic TLS/STARTTLS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunistic_TLS) (typically via port `587`), this setting should **not** be enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
### SMTP Username & Password
|
||||
|
||||
{% hint style="info" %}
|
||||
If your account has two-factor authentication enabled, you may need to create an application password instead of using your account password.
|
||||
{% endhint %}
|
||||
|
||||
Configure these values as appropriate to authenticate with your SMTP host.
|
||||
|
||||
### PGP Private Key & Password (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Configure these values to enable encrypting and signing of email messages using [OpenPGP](https://www.openpgp.org/). Note that individual users must also have their PGP public keys enabled in their user settings in order for PGP encryption to be used.
