Configuring SMTP

The SMTP settings are used to specify an outgoing email server for the Appliance.

Each appliance typically has one email server used to send alert notifications and scheduled reports. If you do not define a server, the appliance cannot send email.

Procedure

  1. Go to Administration > System Settings > Remote Servers.
  2. In the SMTP section, enter the following information.
    Field Description
    Server IP address of the mail server
    Port SMTP port for the mail server. The default port is 25.
    User ID Username for the mail server, if it requires one
    Use TLS Select if you want the SMTP mail server to use the TLSv1 protocol while sending notification emails.
    Important: If you select the Use TLS check box, ensure that you also configure TLS on the SMTP server.
    Password Password for the mail server, if it requires one
    Verify Password Enter the password for the mail server again to confirm the password.
  3. Click Update to save your entries or changes.

What to do next

If any of the SMTP settings or the Originating Email field are changed, you must re-synchronize triggers.
