Optional Steps​

Configure SMTP

An SMTP server is required for sending notifications, user invites and password resets.

The format of connection_uri is smtp://hostname:port

values.yaml
kratos:
  kratos:
    config:
      courier:
        smtp:
          connection_uri: # smtp://localhost:25
          from_address: noreply@
          from_name: Mission Control
          headers: {} # These headers will be passed in the SMTP conversation -- e.g. when using the AWS SES SMTP interface for cross-account sending.
          local_name: #Identifier used in the SMTP HELO/EHLO command. Some SMTP relays require a unique identifier.

Kratos also supports HTTP Webhooks for sending emails.
