Outgoing mail servers

  What is it?

Outgoing mail servers are the servers that will be used while sending email from Odoo to the recipient mail server. By default, Odoo’s servers will be used on your database but the service is limited to 200 mails/day.

Why is it useful?

Outgoing mail servers can be used when you exceed the 200 mails daily limit or more generally when you plan to do mass mailing (mail marketing). Note that under certain conditions Support can increase this limit.

It can also be used to send emails with a certain email address instead of notifications@my-company.odoo.com. 


Example

The FROM filtering field defines who can use this server. In this example, the server will only be used if the user’s email address is “qco@gmail.com”


⚠️ Configuring the email server in Odoo is not enough. Several records (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) must be configured on your domain name level if you want your email to be delivered. This is handled outside of Odoo and it’s quite technical so your client should have someone with the required skills to set this up.
