| − | Mail Providers determine how your installation sends mail. The mail provider you choose can affect your mail deliverability. You can configure mail providers at '''Configuration (<i class="fa fa-wrench" aria-hidden="true"></i>) > System Settings > General Settings > [[Mail_Tab|Mail]]''', or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, '''Setup > General Settings > Mail'''.

| |
| − | Prior to WHMCS 8.0, WHMCS supported two mail providers: PHP Mail and SMTP. In WHMCS 8.0 and later, WHMCS supports three additional mail providers: MailGun, SendGrid, and SparkPost. Additionally, SMTP supports OAuth authentication via Google.

| − | ====SMTP with OAuth====
| |
| − | WHMCS includes OAuth support via Google in version 8.0 and later. It provides access to your mail provider. It's also more secure than traditional username-and-password authentication. Some mail providers require OAuth or have announced a requirement for it in the future.
