Mail Server

You can configure the mail server to send the information to the specified email address.

Prerequisites

When a mail server is configured, ensure that the SMTP/POP3 function is enabled for sender accounts registered on the server.

Context

The proxy server supports only the SOCKS 5 proxy when you configure the basic information for the mail server.

The SOCKS protocol enables the client/server application programs in the TCP and UDP domains to conveniently and securely use the network firewall. The proxy server that uses the SOCKS protocol is called the SOCKS server and is a universal proxy server. The SOCKS proxy is usually used in the email and is bound to port 1080 on the proxy server. If the SOCKS proxy service requires identity authentication, you need to apply to the network administrator for a user name and password.

  2. Configure the basic information for the mail server.

    1. In the Email Server area, click .
