SMTP Access
Send emails using your own domain with SMTP credentials.
SMTP Access
Use WaxForward’s SMTP credentials to send emails from your own domain, using tools like Gmail, Outlook, or programmatic services such as NodeMailer or Postfix.
This feature is ideal if you want to send emails from info@yourdomain.com
or support@yourdomain.com
using verified infrastructure.
Accessing SMTP Credentials
To view and create SMTP credentials:
- Go to Domains in the sidebar
- Click Manage Domain on the domain you want to configure
- Select the SMTP Credentials tab from the top navigation
Creating SMTP Credentials
- (Optional) Enter a tag to label this credential
- Select which aliases are allowed to send with this credential:
- If you select none, the credential will work for all aliases of the domain — both current and future
- You can restrict sending to specific aliases for more control
- Click Create
As soon as you create it, a modal will open automatically showing your SMTP credentials.
Your Credentials
The modal will display:
- SMTP Host:
email-smtp.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
- SMTP Port:
587
- SMTP Username: auto-generated
- SMTP Password: shown only once — be sure to copy and store it safely
- Allowed Aliases: list of emails authorized to send using this credential
Keep it safe
You won’t be able to view the password again.
If lost, generate a new credential.
Managing Credentials
All created credentials are listed with:
- Tag
- SMTP Username
- Allowed Aliases (e.g.
info@yourdomain.com
, orAll aliases
) - Options to revoke or rotate credentials for security
You can create multiple credentials per domain, depending on your use case.
Notes
- Credentials only work for verified domains
- Sending is allowed only from aliases you control
- Each alias can be connected to multiple credentials if needed
- You can use these credentials in any SMTP-compatible service or library (e.g. Gmail, NodeMailer, Laravel, etc.)
