E-mail settings

The option enables you to configure e-mail settings to send notifications about alerts which occurred on the management server.

The notification schedule and the types of alerts to send are configured in Management server options > E-mail settings > Alert notifications.

The preset is: Disabled.

Note: Alerts warn only about problems. Therefore, e-mail notifications about successful backup or recovery operations will not be sent. These e-mail notifications are configured in Backup options > Notifications > E-mail and in Recovery options > Notifications > E-mail respectively.

To configure e-mail notification

1. In the E-mail addresses field, type the destination e-mail address. You can enter several addresses separated by semicolons.
2. In the Subject field, type the notification subject or leave the default value. Variables are not supported in this field.
3. In the SMTP server field, enter the name of the outgoing mail server (SMTP).
4. In the Port field, set the port of the outgoing mail server. By default, the port is set to 25.
5. If the outgoing mail server requires authentication, enter User name and Password of the sender's e-mail account.

   If the SMTP server does not require authentication, leave the User name and Password fields blank. If you are not sure whether the SMTP server requires authentication, contact your network administrator or your e-mail service provider for assistance.

6. Click Additional e-mail parameters... to configure additional e-mail parameters as follows:
   1. From – type the name of the sender. If you leave this field empty, the messages will contain the sender's e-mail account in the From field.
   2. Use encryption – you can opt for encrypted connection to the mail server. SSL and TLS encryption types are available for selection.
   3. Some Internet service providers require authentication on the incoming mail server before being allowed to send something. If this is your case, select the Log on to incoming mail server check box to enable a POP server and to set up its settings:
      • Incoming mail server (POP) – enter the name of the POP server.
      • Port – set the port of the POP server. By default, the port is set to 110.
      • User name and Password of the incoming mail server.
   4. Click OK.
7. Click Send test e-mail message to check whether e-mail notifications work correctly with the specified settings.
