SMTP Command

Manage SMTP credentials for sending emails through AhaSend’s SMTP service.

​
Overview

ahasend smtp [subcommand] [flags]
Available subcommands:
  • list - List all SMTP credentials
  • create - Create a new SMTP credential
  • get - Get details of a specific SMTP credential
  • delete - Delete an SMTP credential
  • send - Send an email via SMTP protocol
SMTP credentials allow you to send emails using standard SMTP protocol through any email client or application that supports SMTP. This is useful for integrating AhaSend with legacy systems, mail servers, or applications that only support SMTP. Use SMTP credentials to:
  • Send emails from email clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.)
  • Integrate with applications that only support SMTP
  • Use AhaSend from programming languages without SDK support
  • Send transactional emails from servers or IoT devices

# Global SMTP credential
ahasend smtp create --name "Main Server" --scope global

# Domain-specific credential
ahasend smtp create \
  --name "Notifications" \
  --scope scoped \
  --domains "notifications.example.com"

# Sandbox credential for testing

Send via SMTP

Send email using SMTP protocol for testing: 
# Basic SMTP send
ahasend smtp send \
  --credential-id smtp_1234567890abcdef \
  --from [email protected] \
  --to [email protected] \
  --subject "SMTP Test" \
  --text "Testing SMTP sending"

# Test SMTP connection
ahasend smtp send \
  --test \
  --server send.ahasend.com:587 \
  --from [email protected] \

Each SMTP credential provides:
  • Username and password for authentication
