Configure SMTP

Use the screen to configure your SMTP mail server to allow e-mailing of alert messages to users that have specified a recipient address in their contact properties.

The Enable SMTP E-mail checkbox can be used to turn on and off the sending of e-mail alerts.

Enter the IP address or fully-qualified domain name of the SMTP e-mail server in the SMTP Mail Server box. Use the Test server link to verify connectivity to your SMTP server.

You may use the Backup SMTP Mail Server field to specify a secondary e-mail server to be used when the primary SMTP Mail Server fails. Use the Test server link to verify connectivity to your SMTP server.

Enter the e-mail address of the sender in the Sender E-mail Address box. This address is required by most SMTP servers and is used as the resulting e-mail's "MAIL FROM" address.

Use the Common Subject Line field to specify the subject line for e-mails when multiple alerts are sent via a single e-mail message.

Configure use of extended hello for mail system compatibility. Instead of beginning the session with the HELO command, the receiving host issues the EHLO command. Most SMTP mail systems support ESMTP.

Select OK to save the SMTP configuration, or Cancel to discard any SMTP configuration changes.
