# Gateways

**Gateway** configuration allows users to set up and manage SMTP servers efficiently. Users can add new **gateways**, and define server details including **Server Name / IP Address**, **Port**, **From Name**, **From Address**, **Username**, and **Password**. An **Active** toggle ensures seamless routing of email notifications through designated servers.
