Frequently asked questions

Why leave SSL/TLS off?

That option is for port 465. On 2525 the connection is secured with STARTTLS, which n8n starts automatically.

Does it work on n8n cloud and self-hosted?

Yes, on both.

Can I use Make or Zapier?

Yes: their SMTP modules also take server, port, username and password.
