Mail Server Settings

The IENT application uses standard Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to route your emails. You can view and manage your mail settings to enable you to send emails. As the Buyer Administrator, you can use your organization’s existing email server or account. You can also use SMTP settings from any bulk email providers such as Amazon SES, Mailchimp, etc. 

To view and edit your mail configuration details:

  1. Login to the IENT Application.

  2. Go to Settings > Mail Configuration.
