SMTP Testing & Diagnostics

Verify your PowerMTA SMTP configuration before sending campaigns

🔌

Multi-Port Connection Testing

Test SMTP connections on ports 25 (standard), 587 (submission), and 465 (implicit TLS). Verify each port is open and responding correctly on your PowerMTA server.

STARTTLS & Implicit TLS

Test both STARTTLS upgrade and implicit TLS connections. Verify your PowerMTA TLS configuration is working and certificates are valid.

🔑

Auth Validation

Validate SMTP authentication credentials against your server. Test username/password combinations and verify access is configured correctly.

📧

Test Email Sending

Send test emails through your PowerMTA server with HTML content and base64 encoding support. Verify end-to-end delivery before launching campaigns.
