### Email
Silverstripe CMS uses SwiftMailer to send email messages. New installations setup with silverstripe/installer are configured to use a `sendmail` found in `/usr/sbin/sendmail` or another location specified via configuration. Alternatively email can be configured to use SMTP or other mail transports instead of sendmail.
You _must_ ensure emails are being sent from your _production_ environment. You can do this by testing that the ***Lost password*** form available at `/Security/lostpassword` sends an email to your inbox, or with the following code snippet that can be run via a `SilverStripe\Dev\BuildTask`:
```php
$email = new SilverStripe\Control\Email\Email('no-reply@mydomain.com', 'myuser@gmail.com', 'My test subject', 'My email body text');
$email->send();
```
Using the code snippet above also tests that the ability to set the "from" address is working correctly.
See the [email section](/developer_guides/email) for futher details, including how to set the administrator "from" email address, change the `sendmail` binary location and how to use SMTP or other mail transports instead of sendmail.

You will also have to remove the `SS_SEND_ALL_EMAILS_FROM` environment variable if it is present.
## Redirecting Emails
There are several other [configuration settings](/developer_guides/configuration) to manipulate the email server.
