===Creating a Signature Template===
A signature template is used to add your user-specific, personalized signature to the bottom of the email messages that you send.
1====To Configure SMTP Relay in Your Mail Exchange Server====Please refer to any documentation provided by the vendor of your mail exchange server for specific instructions on how to enable SMTP relay functionality. Click the '''New Template '''tab Some general points to consider during setup are listed below.* Determine the method of authentication, and whether basic authentication with username will be used.* Verify the permissions of the account used for the relay functionality. Is the account able to send email to external entities/domains? Is the account able to send email from the '''Email '''pageother internal accounts? Consider the scenario where users may use the SmartSimple platform to send ad hoc email with the from address set to their individual email address.* Consider any sending limits that may be imposed by your mail exchange server, and compare this against the sending behaviour of your SmartSimple system.
2. Change ===Sending From Your Own Domain without SMTP Relay===This configuration is not recommended as it will result in email being sent by the SmartSimple platform via the local mail server of the Template '''Type '''to '''Email Signatureapplication server, and has a high likelihood of being designated as spam.'''
3===Where to Set the Email Domain===Due to the highly configurable nature of the SmartSimple platform, there are several different areas that allow you to specify what from address an email is composed with. Set the '''Name '''field to '''My SignatureThe below table describes where to find each of these settings and what they control. '''
