SMTP Provider

JFW allows you to configure an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) provider to send emails for: ✔ User account verification ✔ Password reset emails ✔ Multi-factor authentication (MFA) via email ✔ Welcome and notification emails

By default, JFW uses its email provider, but a custom SMTP provider is recommended for better control over email delivery in production environments.

Supported SMTP Providers

JFW supports any SMTP provider. Here are some popular options:

Provider	Best For	SMTP Server
SendGrid	High deliverability, free tier	smtp.sendgrid.net
Amazon SES	Scalable, cost-effective	email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
Postmark	Fast delivery, transactional emails	smtp.postmarkapp.com
Mailgun	Good for bulk emails	smtp.mailgun.org
Gmail	Small-scale apps, testing	smtp.gmail.com
Outlook	Microsoft ecosystem	smtp.office365.com

Gmail and Outlook have limits for sending, so they are not ideal for production use.
