Introduction
The Outgoing Mail by Multi-Company / User module for Odoo delivers refined email routing control by letting administrators assign outgoing SMTP server settings per company or per user. In multi-company environments or in setups where different users must send emails from different domains or email servers, this module ensures that the correct “From” address and mail server are used. This improves email deliverability, reinforces company branding, and reduces misrouted or blocked messages.
Key Features
Configure an outgoing mail server specific to each company
Assign a distinct SMTP / outgoing mail server per user (overriding company default)
Automatically choose the appropriate mail server based on current company or user context
Support fallback logic when no specific server is assigned (e.g. default global SMTP)
Maintain standard email aliasing, templating, and Discuss / chatter integration
Manage priority or filtering rules to select among multiple servers if needed
Benefits
Ensures emails are sent from correct domain or server aligned with company identity
Reduces email bounces by matching “From” domain and SMTP server credentials
Improves consistency and professionalism in intercompany or client communications
Grants flexibility for users with special email domains or external sending needs
Avoids the limitation of a single SMTP instance in multi-company setups
Compatibility & Technical Details
Technical Name: likely something like outgoing_mail_by_multi_company_or_user
Required Modules:
Mail / Discuss (mail)
Multi-company support (base)
Possibly user (res.users) settings extension
License: as declared in module metadata (often proprietary license)
Installation Steps:
Install the module into your Odoo environment alongside standard mailing components.
In Settings → Technical → Outgoing Mail Servers, configure and assign SMTP servers to companies or users as needed.
On user records, enable or specify “Use user mail server” or similar override field.
On company records, assign default outgoing server for that company context.
When sending emails (from the user or in a company environment), Odoo selects the SMTP server based on user → company hierarchy and sends via the appropriate server.
Test sending emails under different user and company contexts to validate routing.
