+To use an external SMTP server, you have to provide the connection details. To configure Nextcloud to use SMTP add:
-- `SMTP_HOST` (not set by default) hostname of the SMTP server
-- `SMTP_SECURE` (empty by default) set to 'ssl' to use SSL on the connection.
-- `SMTP_PORT` (default: _465_ for SSL and _25_ for non-secure connection) Optional port for SMTP connection.
-- `SMTP_AUTHTYPE` (default: _LOGIN_) The method used for authentication.
-- `SMTP_NAME` (empty by default) Username for the authentication.
-- `SMTP_PASSWORD` (empty by default) Password for the authentication.
-- `MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS` (not set by default) Use this address for the 'from' field in the mail envelopes sent by Nextcloud.
-- `MAIL_DOMAIN` (not set by default) Set a different domain for the emails than the domain where Nextcloud is installed.
