Option 1: Authenticate your device or application directly with a Microsoft 365 and send mail using SMTP AUTH client submission
| Device or Application setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Server/smart host | smtp.office365.com |
| Port | Port 587 (recommended) or port 25 |
| TLS/StartTLS | Enabled |
| Username/email address and password | Enter the sign in credentials of the hosted mailbox being used |
Note 1: This option is not compatible with Microsoft Security Defaults or multi-factor authentication (MFA)
Note 2: If your device recommends or defaults to port 465, it does not support SMTP AUTH client submission.
Option 2: Direct send. Quoted from Microsoft
Settings for direct send
Enter the following settings on the device or in the application directly.
| Device or application setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Server/smart host | Your MX endpoint, for example, contoso-com.mail.protection.outlook.com |
| Port | Port 25 |
| TLS/StartTLS | Enabled |
| Email address | Any email address for one of your Microsoft 365 or Office 365 accepted domains. This email address does not need to have a mailbox. |
We recommend adding an SPF record to avoid having messages flagged as spam. If you are sending from a static IP address, add it to your SPF record in your domain registrar’s DNS settings as follows:
| DNS entry | Value |
|---|---|
| SPF | v=spf1 ip4:<Static IP Address> include:spf.protection.outlook.com ~all |
Option 3: Configure a connector to send mail using Microsoft 365 or Office 365 SMTP relay. Quoted from Microsoft:
Settings for Microsoft 365 or Office 365 SMTP relay
| Device or application setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Server/smart host | Your MX endpoint, e.g. yourdomain-com.mail.protection.outlook.com |
| Port | Port 25 |
| TLS/StartTLS | Enabled |
| Email address | Any email address in one of your Microsoft 365 or Office 365 verified domains. This email address does not need a mailbox. |
