Send Managed Ghost Email Through Your Own SMTP Provider

What's changed

• Open a Ghost instance and choose the new Email (SMTP) tab to connect your own provider for password resets and staff invitations, which could not be delivered before because Ghost tried to send through localhost. A project owner or administrator can manage it.
• Turn on Enable SMTP and enter your provider's public SMTP hostname, username and password. Choose STARTTLS on port 587 or 2525, or TLS on port 465; unencrypted SMTP is not supported. Then enter a sender address verified with your provider and, if you like, a sender name.
• Save and apply restarts Ghost, so your site is briefly unavailable while the settings take effect. If applying fails, use Retry applying.
• Once the settings are applied, Send test email sends a message to your DanubeData account's verified email address only. Provider acceptance does not guarantee inbox delivery, so check your spam folder too.
• The password is stored securely and cannot be viewed; leave the field blank to keep it. Turning SMTP off stops Ghost from sending password resets and invitations until you enable it again.
• This is for transactional email only: Ghost newsletters use a separate Mailgun integration that you configure in Ghost Admin.
