SMTP Configuration for Sending Email/SMS Messages

You can make a running job send you messages via email or SMS (see System > Send E-mail Notification and System > Send SMS Notification tasks). To do this successfully, SMTP server and email account settings must be defined correctly. Run the HCA/JOBS > Presets > Email Setup command to display the following window and fill all its fields.

Server

Enter the name of your server (e.g. smtp.mydomainname.com or mail.mydomainname.com).

Port

Enter the server's port number.

Server requires authentication

Check if your server requires authentication.

Login

If the SMTP server requires authentication, fill in the appropriate user account name (e.g. firstname.surname).

Password

If the SMTP server requires authentication, fill in the password for the SMTPLogin account.

Sender e-mail

Type the email address which will be displayed in the from field (and also used as the reply-to address).

Your name

Alias of the sender email - usually a human-readable equivalent of the email address. E.g. Peter Smith for an address such as ps001@company.com
