Settings

To send e-mails from your @fsfe.org e-mail alias using FSFE's mail server, you have to enable SMTP Authentication in your e-mail client.

Please use the following settings:

Outgoing mail server:

mail.fsfe.org

Port:

587

Security:

STARTTLS (or simply TLS)

Authentication method:

Password (LOGIN)

User name:

Your FSFE user name

Password:

Your FSFE login password

Notes

Please note that our server enforces TLS, because otherwise your credentials would be submitted without encryption - which is not good at all.

Please also note that the maximum allowed size for messages is 25MiB (this is the same limit imposed by many ISPs).

Examples

Mutt

If you use mutt, just put this into your ~/.muttrc:

Thunderbird

If you want to be able to send mails from your fsfe.org email address in Thunderbird (or Icedove), you can just add a second identity.

For this follow the steps below:

  1. Right click on your account like username@domain.de -> Settings

  2. Under Outgoing Server (SMTP) you will find the menu for Manage Identities, click on it

  3. A new menu will open. Choose Add

  4. fill out all the information requiered. In the field email address put in your fsfe-mail (username@fsfe.org). Also the reply-mail should be username@fsfe.org. The outgoing-mailserver is mail.fsfe.org. You will find all the information how to configure it above.
