Many devices have a need to send emails through an SMTP server.
The problem that many people face is that some of these devices do not have any place in their settings to enter an SMTP username or password — otherwise known as SMTP authentication. In order to get these devices to work, you need an SMTP that can work with no authentication.
SMTP2GO provides an SMTP server that doesn’t require authentication, and can thus be used by these devices (routers, webcams, faxes, printers, security devices, storage devices etc.) Device that need an SMTP server that doesn’t require authentication come from many manufacturers including Xerox, Sharp, HP, Netgear, and Kyocera. Please note that Gmail’s SMTP server cannot be used in these situations, as it requires full authentication with a username and password.
To use SMTP2GO with no SMTP authentication, you need to contact our Support team, as this feature is now available on any paid plan but on a request-only basis. Alternatively, you can authorize an IP address to be allowed to send (if you will always send from a fixed IP address) on any paid plan from the Sending > IP Authentication page in your SMTP2GO control panel.
