Configuration

:warning: The Shipper Email (or defaultfrom) may also need to be changed in the Email Templates tab on the admin panel for emails to send properly

Example

Path - config/plugins.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  // ...
  email: {
    provider: 'sendmail',
    settings: {
      defaultFrom: 'myemail@protonmail.com',
      defaultReplyTo: 'myemail@protonmail.com',
    },
  },
  // ...

Example with DKIM

Using DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) can prevent emails from being considered as spam. More details about this subject can be found in the discussion on the Strapi forum: Unsolved problem: emails goes to spam!

Generate the keys using OpenSSL

openssl genrsa -out dkim-private.pem 1024
openssl rsa -in dkim-private.pem -pubout -out dkim-public.pem

Path - config/plugins.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  // ...
  email: {
    provider: 'sendmail',
    providerOptions: {
      dkim: {
        privateKey: 'replace-with-dkim-private-key',
        keySelector: 'abcd', // the same as the one set in DNS txt record, use online dns lookup tools to be sure that is retreivable
      },
    },
    settings: {
      defaultFrom: 'myemail@protonmail.com',
