# SMTP settings

You can use your own SMTP server by providing the SMTP settings in outlined fields. Click the Test button and enter a test email address where test email will be sent. **Don't forget to click the save button before navigating away**.

If you do not have an SMTP server you are already using, you can use one of the free SMTP options. Please see [Free SMTP options](/streams-manager/configuration/settings/email-notifications/free-smtp-options.md). All these options have very low limit on how many emails can be sent per day and have questionable deliverability rates unless you have your own custom domain and setup domain verification.

Alternatively, I can provide reliable SMTP server through Amazon AWS SES for $3 per month without limits. 

### Amazon SMTP settings

Amazon SMTP settings are as follows:

| Setting       | Value                                        |

| SMTP Host     | email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com           |
| SMTP Port     | 465                                          |
| SMTP User     | Will be provided                             |
| SMTP Password | Will be provided                             |
| From email    | admin@<\<your-subdomain>>@streamsmanager.com |
| Use SSL/TLS   | True                                         |
| From Email    | Must match email you verified with Amazon    |
