## Description

_{eac}SimpleSMTP_ is an [{eac}Doojigger](https://eacDoojigger.earthasylum.com/)

{eac}SimpleSMTP options include…

 * _SMTP Server Name_

 * _SMTP User Name_
 * The email address/username used to authenticate with your mail server.

 * _Send From Name_
 * The default name used when sending email.
 * _Send From Email_
 * The default email address used when sending email.
 * _Override Senders_
