# Verify SMTP and send a test email

> Starts an asynchronous verification that sends a test email: to the requesting user, or for API keys to your partner's `contacts.technicalEmail` (never to an address from the request). Answers 200 with `verificationRequestedAt` set; poll `GET /partner/v1/smtp-configuration` until `verificationCompletedAt` ≥ `verificationRequestedAt`, then read `status` and `lastError`. One verification per partner at a time. See [Email OTP links](/consumer/email-otp-links).

**Required permissions:** `manage-consumer-email` · **API keys:** allowed
