- E-Mail Transport Method
- If your host server is running on Unix Linux, leave this setting as sendmail.
- If your host server is running on Windows or MacOS, change this setting to SMTP.
- E-Mail Line Feeds
- If your host server is running on Unix Linux, leave this setting as LF.
- If your host server is running on Windows or MacOS, change this setting to CRLF.
- Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails
- Setting this to true enables HTML formatting in emails. Depending on how host server is set up, E-Mail Line Feeds might also need to be set to CRLF.
- Setting this to false only allows plain text emails.
- Verify E-Mail Addresses Through DNS
- Setting to true will check if the domain name of email addresses is valid before sending, reducing bounced emails.
- Set this to false if your host server is running on Windows as it does not work in that case.
