SMTP relay
Point any application or mail client at the Taifa Mail SMTP relay and send authenticated, signed email with no code changes.
The SMTP relay is a standard authenticated SMTP server. If your app or client already speaks SMTP, you can switch to Taifa Mail by changing the host, port and credentials. No code changes.
Use cases
- Point an existing app that already speaks SMTP at Taifa Mail with no rewrite.
- Send from WordPress, Laravel, Django or any framework mailer.
- Replace an unreliable office relay with authenticated, DKIM-signed delivery.
Step 1: Verify your domain
SMTP credentials can only be created for a verified domain, so that SPF, DKIM and DMARC are in place. See Domain setup.
Step 2: Create SMTP credentials
- In the dashboard, go to Settings -> SMTP Credentials.
- Click Create and pick a verified domain.
- Copy the generated username and password. The password is shown only once.
Step 3: Configure your client
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Host | mail.govconnect.ke |
| Port | 587 |
| Encryption | STARTTLS |
| Username | Your SMTP credential username |
| Password | Your SMTP credential password |
