Frequently Asked Question
Can I use Countermail on my phpBB-forum?
Last Updated 10 years ago
Yes but it's highly recommended that you only use this method for password resets and admin-related news(e.g new member-notification). Because phpBB supports CRAM-MD5 as authentication, which is required by Countermai, sol you can easily send forum mail from your Countermail-account. This method only works if your forum sends low amount of emails because there's a limit on how many emails you can send.

2. Simply copy the settings as in the picture below. The SMTP password is your IMAP-key!
