Common SMTP configurations
SendStreak connects to email servers using the standard SMTP protocol. Below are the connection settings for the most commonly used providers. For providers with a dedicated preset in SendStreak (AWS SES, Gmail), the host and port are filled in automatically when you select the preset - just enter your credentials.
For any provider not listed here, choose Other / Generic SMTP in SendStreak and enter the settings manually. See email servers documentation for full setup instructions.

- Use SSL: no

Note: Replace [region] with your SES region (e.g., us-east-1, eu-west-1). Your SMTP credentials must match the region where you verified your sending identity.
Gmail
- Host:
smtp.gmail.com - Port: 587
- Username & password: Your Gmail address and an App Password (not your regular Google account password). See our Gmail guide.

Note: Gmail limits sending to 500 emails per day for regular accounts and 2,000 per day for Google Workspace accounts. For higher volumes, consider a dedicated SMTP relay service.

Note: Microsoft is deprecating Basic authentication for SMTP AUTH. For new integrations, consider using OAuth authentication or a dedicated SMTP relay service instead. SMTP AUTH is disabled by default for organizations created after January 2020.
