Email setup

Aisman uses a centralized email service to send transactional emails such as registration confirmations, password resets, and email-change verifications.

Email configuration in appsettings.json

The email settings live under the Email key in appsettings.json:

"Email": {
  "UseEmail": "SMTP",
  "TestMode": {
    "Active": true,
    "Email": "your-test@example.com"
  },
  "SMTP": {
    "Host": "smtp.your-provider.com",
    "Port": 587,
    "Username": "your-username",
    "Password": "your-password",
    "FromAddress": "noreply@yourdomain.com",
    "FromName": "Aisman",
    "UseSsl": true
  }
}

Key settings

Setting	Description
UseEmail	Which email service to use. Currently only SMTP is supported.
TestMode.Active	When true, all outgoing emails are redirected to TestMode.Email regardless of the original recipient. Useful for development and testing.
TestMode.Email	The email address that receives all emails when test mode is active.
SMTP.Host	Your SMTP server hostname.
SMTP.Port	SMTP port (typically 587 for TLS or 465 for SSL).
SMTP.Username	SMTP authentication username.
SMTP.Password	SMTP authentication password.
SMTP.FromAddress	The “From” address on outgoing emails.
SMTP.FromName	The display name for the “From” address.
SMTP.UseSsl	Whether to use SSL/TLS when connecting to the SMTP server.

Which pages send emails

The following account pages send real emails through the centralized service:

• Register: Sends a confirmation email after account creation.
• Check email: Resends the confirmation email on request.
• Forgot password: Sends a password reset email with a styled reset link.
• Settings (email change): Sends verification emails to both the old and new addresses.

Adding new email services

The Email configuration structure is designed to support additional services beyond SMTP. To add a new service (for example Mailgun), add a new key alongside SMTP and update UseEmail to point to it.
