Integration with Altcraft Cloud SMTP

Altcraft Cloud SMTP is an external SMTP relay through which the Altcraft platform can send email messages and receive delivery events via HTTP Webhook.

The integration is used when direct email sending from the platform server is not possible or not desirable. For example, when Altcraft is hosted in a private cloud, outgoing connections on SMTP port 25/TCP may be blocked by the cloud provider. In such a configuration, emails are passed to an external SMTP relay, which performs delivery on behalf of the system.

Altcraft Cloud SMTP also sends back delivery events such as delivery and bounce. This allows the platform to correctly record message statuses, generate mailing statistics, and handle non-deliveries.

Sender Configuration

• Go to the Admin Panel, section Senders — Email
• Create a new sender or edit an existing one
• In the Type field, select Email: AKMTA
• Enable the Send via SMTP relay option

Specify the following details:

• SMTP relay host: the address provided by Altcraft support
• Start TLS: Disable
• Use webhook: Enable

The authentication type and credentials should be filled in based on the data provided by Altcraft technical support.

Connecting to Virtual Sender

After creating and configuring the sender, you need to add it to a virtual sender through the platform's user interface. To do this, open the platform, go to Settings — Virtual Senders, and configure the rules for sending through the created sender.
