Port number - The port number of your company's SMTP server. The Email relay supports the following port numbers: 25, 465, 587.
Secure connection - Whether you choose SSL or TLS certificate, it is advisable to authenticate the certificate (authenticating the certificates is not a mandatory step). To do so, you will need to mention the host's name and password on the certificate.
Setting the type of emails sent from the relay server
You can select the type of emails that should be sent via the relay server. Only the emails that originate from CRM such as, workflow emails, mass emails or individual emails can be sent through a relay server. You can use different relay servers for each type of email, for example you can use the server one to send all the mass emails and server two to send all the workflow related emails.
