SMTP Relay Configuration

The Risu Mail SMTP Relay allows you to leverage our global delivery infrastructure without changing a single line of code in legacy applications, CMS platforms, or enterprise frameworks.

Global Connection Parameters

Host: smtp.risu.in

Port: 587 (STARTTLS) or 465 (Implicit TLS).

Username: Your API Key primary access ID.

Password: Your secret API key token.

Authentication: Required (Plain or Login).

Implementation Examples

NodeMailer: use 'smtp.risu.in' with secure: false on port 587. Ensure 'tls.rejectUnauthorized' is false if testing in self-signed environments.

Python SMTPLib: use smtplib.SMTP('smtp.risu.in', 587) followed by server.starttls().

PHPMailer: Set SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS and Port = 587.

SMTP vs API: Which to choose?

Use SMTP for: WordPress plugins, Laravel Mail, legacy ERP systems, and scanners.

Use API for: Complex variable injection, real-time status polling, and high-concurrency microservices where TCP socket reuse is critical.
