## Email
It is desirable for Synapse to have the capability to send email. For example,
this is required to support the 'password reset' feature.
It is desirable for Synapse to have the capability to send email. This allows
Synapse to send password reset emails, send verifications when an email address
is added to a user's account, and send email notifications to users when they
receive new messages.
To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
headed ``email``, and be sure to have at least the ``smtp_host``, ``smtp_port``
and ``notif_from`` fields filled out. You may also need to set ``smtp_user``,
``smtp_pass``, and ``require_transport_security``.
headed `email`, and be sure to have at least the `smtp_host`, `smtp_port`
and `notif_from` fields filled out. You may also need to set `smtp_user`,
`smtp_pass`, and `require_transport_security`.
If Synapse is not configured with an SMTP server, password reset via email will
be disabled by default.
If email is not configured, password reset, registration and notifications via
email will be disabled.
