+# Setup Remote SMTP Server for OpenPanel
+
+To set up a remote SMTP server for all emails sent from OpenPanel user websites, follow these steps:
+
+## Whitelist the Remote SMTP Server
+
+On the server with OpenPanel installed, ensure that the IP address of the remote SMTP server is whitelisted on [firewall](/docs/admin/security/firewall/).
+
+Similarly, on the remote SMTP server, make sure to whitelist the IP address of the OpenPanel server.
+
+
+## Configure SMTP per User
+
+For each user, SMTP settings are configured via the `/etc/msmtprc` file. An example file content is shown below:
+
+```
+# /etc/msmtprc
+defaults
+auth       off
+tls        off
+logfile    /var/log/msmtp.log
+
+account    default
+host       openadmin_mailserver
+port       25
+from       USERNAME@HOSTNAME
+```
+
+[Login as root for that user]() and edit the file. In this file, set the email address and server to be used for all outgoing emails. 
+
+For example, you can configure Gmail SMTP settings as shown in the [Arch Linux Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Msmtp).
+
+After saving the configuration, test sending emails from a PHP website like WordPress or directly from the terminal.
+
+
+## Configure SMTP for all existing users
+
+Create a new file on the server, and in it copy the [default /etc/msmtprc file](https://github.com/stefanpejcic/OpenPanel/blob/main/docker/apache/email/msmtprc).
+
+In the file set your remote SMTP server address and optionally logins.
+
+When finished, run the bellow command to copy the file to each OpenPanel user:
+
+```bash
+  for user in $(opencli user-list --json | grep -v 'SUSPENDED' | awk -F'"' '/username/ {print $4}'); do
+    echo "Processing user: $user"
+    docker cp filename $user:/etc/msmtp
+  done
+```
+
+
+## Configure SMTP automatically for new users
+
+To automatically have all users pre-configured to use your remote SMTP server, [build a docker image](/docs/articles/docker/building_a_docker_image_example_include_php_ioncubeloader/) that has your custom [/etc/msmtprc](https://github.com/stefanpejcic/OpenPanel/blob/main/docker/apache/email/msmtprc) file.
