Email Configuration

Surfly does not require you to configure email functionality to create a session. However, user activation process includes an activation link from the email

Tip

Contact support@surfly.com if you want to brand your emails

Mandrill Configuration

Edit ~/surfly/config.env file and add the following lines:

EMAIL_BACKEND=surflyapp.email_backends.MandrillBackend
MANDRILL_API_KEY=abc123

Tip

Mandrill requires you to verify the domain name of the server by receiving an email. You can set up MX record in your DNS configuration to use your main email server for receiving emails which were sent to the domain name used by Surfly:

cobrowsing.yourdomain.com. MX 10 yourdomain.com.

SMTP Server Configuration

Edit ~/surfly/config.env file:

EMAIL_BACKEND=surflyapp.email_backends.SMTPBackend
EMAIL_HOST=youremailserver.com
EMAIL_PORT=1025
EMAIL_HOST_USER=client
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=password
EMAIL_USE_TLS=true
EMAIL_USE_SSL=false

Caution

EMAIL_USE_TLS and EMAIL_USE_SSL are mutually exclusive. See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/settings/#std:setting-EMAIL_USE_TLS
