1. Go to Joomla Administration panel- http://domain/administrator
2. Go to “System” tab, select “General settings“
3. Go to “Server” tab
4. In the second column to the right you will see a section “Email settings”
5. There are three ways to send mail:
– phpmail
Website e-mail is your e-mail account that will be used for mailing. Type it in “WWW Domains” tab (“Administrator E-Mail” field) in ISPManager.
The sender of the email – name of the sender, e.g., “Administration”.
