I do not see the Outgoing Mail option when trying to set up my SMTP mail server

not able to see SMTP settings

Hi @Brad Beattie,

as far as I know, there is no possibility to manage own smtp settings in Jira Cloud.
You have an outgoing adress based on your domain e.g. jira@samplecompany.atlassian.net

Nic is correct.

Setting up an SMTP server is a restricted function of Jira Cloud. You must use the internal SMTP server on your Cloud account.

Let us know if you have any questions about that.

Thanks for this answer ... this could be a showstopper. 

Is there any good reason behind this except the free marketing we do for you ;)
