# emailsender.ini The emailsender.ini config file, located at /etc/squirro/emailsender.ini configures email sending of the Squirro system. ## Email Server By default Squirro sends emails through a local email server. This can be changed using the following settings. These options are located in the section `emailsender`. | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | Key | Usage | Default | | smtp_server | The SMTP server to send emails through. | localhost | | smtp_port | The port the SMTP server listens on. | 25 | | smtp_login | Whether the SMTP server requires login (`true` or `false`) | False | | smtp_username | The username to use on the SMTP server. Only used if `smtp_login` is set to `true`. | | | smtp_password | The password to use on the SMTP server. Only used if `smtp_login` is set to `true`. | | ## Example Configuration ```text [emailsender] smtp_server = mta.internal smtp_login = True smtp_username = squirro@example.com smtp_password = pass123 ``` ## Applying Changes After editing this configuration file, the service `sqemailsenderd` has to be restarted (see [Services](../../operations/services.md#admin-services)).
