identity\_smtp Roundcube Plugin
===============================

[](#identity_smtp-roundcube-plugin)

This Roundcube plugin allows you to setup identities with different SMTP servers from the RC installation's default.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This plugin is available from [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/elm/identity_smtp).

### Manual Installation

[](#manual-installation)

```
$ cd /path/to/roundcube/plugins
$ git clone https://github.com/deflomu/Roundcube-SMTP-per-Identity-Plugin.git identity_smtp

```

To use a specific version:

```
$ git checkout 1.6.0

```

Replace `1.6.0` with any version found [here](https://github.com/deflomu/Roundcube-SMTP-per-Identity-Plugin/tags)

The plugins folder must be named identity\_smtp.

Add `identity_smtp` to `$rcmail_config['plugins']` in `config/main.inc.php`.

A default SMTP server has to be set in `config/main.inc.php`, otherwise Roundcube will not call any SMTP function and the plugin will not work.

Versions
--------

[](#versions)

Each version's Major + Minor will match the latest version of Roundcube that it's compatible with. If you cannot find a version for your install, use the closest-matching newer version.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In the `Identities` settings you can specify an alternative SMTP server for every identity to send mail with. When composing an email, just choose the identity you want to use to send mail.

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

### Gmail

[](#gmail)

#### Roundcube 1.6+

[](#roundcube-16)

- Server Host: `tls://smtp.gmail.com:587`
- Username: `example@gmail.com`
- Password: `HighlySecurePassw0rd`

#### Roundcube 1.5 & below

[](#roundcube-15--below)

- Server IP/Hostname: `tls://smtp.gmail.com`
- Server Port: `587`
- Username: `example@gmail.com`
- Password: `HighlySecurePassw0rd`

Note: As of 30/MAY/2022 Google blocks sending email using your account's password. To get a working password for sending email, please use an [App Specific Password](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en).
