Outgoing mail server (SMTP)

To use the mail interface the INETAPP server needs the access data to a SMTP server. This makes it possible to automatically send e-mails on important occasions (e.g. task scheduling and error notifications).

Settings

Enter the server name or the IP- address of the SMTP server. The entry at Port is only necessary if NOT the suggested SMTP default port is used. In any case, check your firewall whether the port numbers listed here are enabled, otherwise a connection may not work.

  • SMTP: 25 (alternatively 587)
  • TLS SMTP: 25 (alternatively 587)
  • SSL SMTP: 465

The email address of the sender should be a valid SMTP address. The address will be used by the INETAPP server as the sender for emails.

Security and authentication

Specifies the type of encryption used for the connection to the SMTP server. If no encryption is used, then the password is transmitted in clear text. Ask your mail administrator about this or check with your provider.

Note: Often your SMTP receive connector in the INTERNAL network allows session setup for Anonymous users. If you do not know the exact settings of your SMTP server, then you should test the anonymous access. In this case, select None for Connection Security and Authentication Method.

Test email

You can immediately test the functionality of sending mails. By default, the entry from Sender's email address is set as the Receiver address for test mail. You can enter any other address. However, when opening the dialog again, it will show the address from Sender's mail address again.
