Configure SMTP for email services

Optimizely {user["product-name"]} uses the System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient object, provided by the .NET Framework, to send e-mail.

For Insite-hosted solutions, the SMTP settings will be configured for you by Insite. The application will use an external emailing service for all e-mail communication.

For on-premises solutions, these settings must be configured in the web.config file in the root directory of the {user["product-name"]} project.

The following example configures the delivery format, delivery method, and from address for sending e-mails.
