# Email configuration with SendGrid

# Preamble

The server supports multiple email providers. This guide will explain how to configure the Psono server to use SendGrid for email delivery.

# Configuration

During the installation of the server you have created a settings.yaml that needs to be adjusted now.

  1. Configure email address

    EMAIL_FROM: 'something@example.com'

    All emails that are sent by the server will come from this email address.

    Restart the server afterward

  2. Add SendGrid API credentials to setting.yml

    EMAIL_BACKEND: 'anymail.backends.sendgrid.EmailBackend'
SENDGRID_API_KEY: 'YOUR_SENDGRID_API_KEY'

    Replace YOUR_SENDGRID_API_KEY with the API key that was provided to you by SendGrid.

    Restart the server afterward

# Testing

To send a test email to something@something.com execute:

docker run --rm \
  -v /opt/docker/psono/settings.yaml:/root/.psono_server/settings.yaml \
  -ti psono/psono-combo:latest python3 ./psono/manage.py sendtestmail something@something.com

If you receive this test email, then email should be configured proper.

# More Information
