# Email setup
To use Gitea's built-in Email support, update the `app.ini` config file [mailer] section:
## Sendmail version
Use the operating system’s sendmail command instead of SMTP. This is common on Linux servers.
Note: For use in the official Gitea Docker image, please configure with the SMTP version.
```ini
[mailer]
ENABLED = true
FROM = gitea@mydomain.com
MAILER_TYPE = sendmail
SENDMAIL_PATH = /usr/sbin/sendmail
```
## SMTP version
```ini
[mailer]
ENABLED = true
FROM = gitea@mydomain.com
MAILER_TYPE = smtp
HOST = mail.mydomain.com:587
IS_TLS_ENABLED = true
USER = gitea@mydomain.com
PASSWD = `password`
```
- Restart Gitea for the configuration changes to take effect.
- To send a test email to validate the settings, go to Gitea > Site Administration > Configuration > SMTP Mailer Configuration.
For the full list of options check the [Config Cheat Sheet]({{< relref "doc/advanced/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md" >}})
- Please note: authentication is only supported when the SMTP server communication is encrypted with TLS or `HOST=localhost`. TLS encryption can be through:
- Via the server supporting TLS through STARTTLS - usually provided on port 587. (Also known as Opportunistic TLS.)
- SMTPS connection (SMTP over transport layer security) via the default port 465.
- Forced SMTPS connection with `IS_TLS_ENABLED=true`. (These are both known as Implicit TLS.)
- This is due to protections imposed by the Go internal libraries against STRIPTLS attacks.
### Gmail
The following configuration should work with GMail's SMTP server:
```ini
[mailer]
ENABLED = true
HOST = smtp.gmail.com:465
FROM = example@gmail.com
USER = example@gmail.com
PASSWD = ***
MAILER_TYPE = smtp
IS_TLS_ENABLED = true
HELO_HOSTNAME = example.com
```
