No matter whether you send email directly (the default) or you relay email through another host (see how below), you'll probably need to allow outgoing traffic for TCP ports 25/587 (depending on configuration).
## Relaying email through another SMTP server
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
### Relaying email through another SMTP server
If you'd like to relay email through another SMTP server, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):

**Note**: only the secure submission protocol (using `STARTTLS`, usually on port `587`) is supported. **SMTPS** (encrypted SMTP, usually on port `465`) **is not supported**.
### Configuations for sending emails using Sendgrid
### Sending emails using Sendgrid
An easy and free SMTP service to set up is [Sendgrid](https://sendgrid.com/), the free tier allows for up to 100 emails per day to be sent. In the settings below you can provide any email for `exim_relay_sender_address`.

The only other thing you need to change is the `exim_relay_relay_auth_password`, which you can generate at https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/api_keys. The API key password looks something like `SG.955oW1mLSfwds7i9Yd6IA5Q.q8GTaB8q9kGDzasegdG6u95fQ-6zkdwrPP8bOeuI`.
Note that the `exim_relay_relay_auth_username` is literally the string `apikey`, it's always the same for Sendgrid.
To set it up, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):
```yaml
exim_relay_sender_address: "arbitrary@email.com"
exim_relay_sender_address: "example@example.org"
exim_relay_relay_use: true
exim_relay_relay_host_name: "smtp.sendgrid.net"
exim_relay_relay_host_port: 587
exim_relay_relay_auth: true
# This needs to be literally the string "apikey". It is always the same for Sendgrid.
exim_relay_relay_auth_username: "apikey"
exim_relay_relay_auth_password: "<your api key password>"
# You can generate the API key password at this URL: https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/api_keys
# The password looks something like `SG.955oW1mLSfwds7i9Yd6IA5Q.q8GTaB8q9kGDzasegdG6u95fQ-6zkdwrPP8bOeuI`.

```
## Troubleshooting
If you're having trouble with email not being delivered, it may be useful to inspect the mailer logs: `journalctl -f -u matrix-exim-relay`.

To do so, log in to the server with SSH and run `journalctl -f -u matrix-exim-relay`.
