How to connect SULU to SMTP email?

[normenrollf]

Most content management systems (CMS) offer the possibility to set up the e-mail configuration to use SMTP instead of the PHP mail function. I could not find anything in the docs about either SMTP or the PHP mail function. How is the problem solved in Sulu?

Thx

Emails are handled in Sulu over Symfony. Currently it uses the swiftmailer package and so SwiftmailerBundle which you configure in your .env files (normally .env.local) via the MAILER_URL: https://github.com/sulu/skeleton/blob/74a98c4114ab5c7b19656b6604d86eacdbe47bb6/.env#L34

See also https://symfony.com/doc/4.4/reference/configuration/swiftmailer.html#transport

In the next minor release sulu will switch to the Symfony Mailer instead of Swiftmailer. Also there a MAILER_DSN will exist to configure how you want to send the emails.

Great @alexander-schranz ! Thx for your fast replay. If you could link this info to the FormBundle in the doc, it would certainly help some people in future ;)

Do you want to great a pull request for it Think it could be added to the Config part where the emails are configured: https://github.com/sulu/SuluFormBundle/blob/2.4/Resources/doc/index.md#config

Of course. I don't know it any differently from other cms. Will you add it or should I do it?

[alexander-schranz]

We are happy if you creating a pull request with adding the links to the documentation.
