SMTP And Email

SMTP enables password resets, email verification, report notifications, and two-factor challenge delivery.

Configuration

[smtp]
enabled = true
host = "smtp.example.test"
port = 587
username = "midden"
password = "secret"
from = "Midden <midden@example.test>"

Midden considers mail enabled only when enabled = true, host is set, and from is set. Username and password are optional for SMTP servers that do not require authentication.

Uses

• Password reset request emails.
• Email verification links.
• Two-factor challenge codes.
• Abuse or report notifications when branding.abuse_email is configured.

Operator Notes

• Use a real sender address that your SMTP service allows.
• Prefer secret injection for smtp.password.
• Test password reset and two-factor flows after changing SMTP settings.
• If SMTP is not enabled, account flows that depend on mail cannot complete.
