When in doubt, please consult your system administrator about the values to enter here. |
|
SMTP Server |
The host name of your mail server. |
|
SMTP Server Port |
The port where your mail server is listening. This value usually depends on the transport security setting chosen below. The default value is 25 for no transport security. |
|
Sender Address |
The sender address of the generated e-mails ( From field). |
|
Username |
The username needed to authenticate against the SMTP server. This field is only present if SMTP or POP authentication is selected in the Authentication field below. |
|
Password |
The password needed to authenticate against the SMTP server. This field is only present if SMTP or POP authentication is selected in the Authentication field below. |
|
Authentication |
To prevent or identify spam, some mail servers require users to authenticate themselves before they allow them to send mails. This option selects whether no authentication is required, or a username / password combination via SMTP or POP is used. If one of the latter two is selected, the User Name and Password fields are shown in the user interface. |
|
Security |
This setting defines the transport layer security used to access the SMTP mail server. Each transport security setting may require a different port value. The options are None (Port 25), Secure Socket Layer / SSL (Port 465) or Transport Layer Security / TLS aka STARTTLS (Port 25). Your local port settings may vary from the given defaults. |
|
Send Test Mail |
This link sends a test email to verify that your e-mail server settings are valid. It is therefore necessary that a valid e-mail address is specified in your user account. |
Click the Send Test Mail button to test if the fields are filled in properly.
