+## Email
+
+It is desirable for Synapse to have the capability to send email. For example,
+this is required to support the 'password reset' feature.
+
+To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
+headed ``email``, and be sure to have at least the ``smtp_host``, ``smtp_port``
+and ``notif_from`` fields filled out. You may also need to set ``smtp_user``,
+``smtp_pass``, and ``require_transport_security``.
+
+If Synapse is not configured with an SMTP server, password reset via email will
+ be disabled by default.
