Yes. Like forever ago. No idea as I don't use SW.

I haven't seen any email configuration setup before using their servers. . . why would anyone want to use their email servers, over say your own. . .

There is no option on the SW server we are managing to do that. Definitely not obvious anywhere.

They could have a system in place that records every ticket, anonymizes it from which they create a sales deck to pull in more money. -
