SMTP

Send through the Notix SMTP relay from any app or framework that speaks SMTP.

Send through the Notix SMTP relay from any app, framework or plugin that can send over SMTP. Mail sent this way goes through the same pipeline as the API: the same suppression list, tracking and webhooks.

Prerequisites

An API key. It is your SMTP password.
A verified domain. The from address must be on it.

Connection settings

Setting	Value
Host	`smtp.usenotix.dev`
Port	`465` for implicit TLS, or `587` for STARTTLS
Username	`notix`
Password	Your Notix API key

There is no separate SMTP password. Revoke the key and the SMTP login stops working with it.

Pick a port
Use 465 if your client asks for SSL or TLS from the start. Use 587 if it asks for STARTTLS.
2
Set the login
The username is always notix. The password is your API key. Keep the key in your environment.
```
NOTIX_API_KEY=notix_12345
```

import nodemailer from "nodemailer";

const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  host: "smtp.usenotix.dev",
  port: 465,
  secure: true,
  auth: {
    user: "notix",
    pass: process.env.NOTIX_API_KEY,
  },
});

await transporter.sendMail({
  from: "Acme <receipts@acme.com>",
  to: "maria@example.com",
  subject: "Your receipt for order 4471",
  html: "<p>Thanks for your order, Maria.</p>",

with smtplib.SMTP("smtp.usenotix.dev", 587) as smtp:
    smtp.starttls()
    smtp.login("notix", os.environ["NOTIX_API_KEY"])
    smtp.send_message(msg)

Sending from WordPress or another tool with an SMTP settings screen? Enter the same host, port, username and password, turn authentication on, and use a from address on your verified domain.
