Frequently Asked Questions

What is SMTP?

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the standard protocol for sending emails across the Internet. It's used to send emails from one server to another or from an email client to a mail server.

Is this tool secure to use with my email credentials?

Yes, this tool processes all testing client-side in your browser. Your email credentials are never stored on our servers or transmitted to us. We recommend using test accounts rather than production credentials whenever possible.

What are common SMTP ports?

Common SMTP ports include:
- Port 25: Standard SMTP (often blocked by ISPs)
- Port 465: SMTP with SSL encryption
- Port 587: SMTP with TLS encryption (recommended)
- Port 2525: Alternative SMTP port

Why is my test failing with "Authentication Required"?

This error typically means your SMTP server requires a username and password, but either they weren't provided or they're incorrect. Double-check your credentials and make sure your account has permission to send emails.

What's the difference between TLS and SSL?

Both TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) are encryption protocols that secure data transmission. TLS is the successor to SSL and provides stronger security. Most modern email servers use TLS on port 587.

Can I test bulk email sending with this tool?

No, this tool is designed for testing basic SMTP configuration and single email delivery. It's not intended for bulk email testing or sending marketing campaigns. For bulk testing, consider using specialized email marketing platforms.
