Settings
Configuring the
local SMTP server
When you select the Local SMTP Server option for the Send via
setting, you must do one of the following:
• Make sure that forwarding is enabled at that server so that the
server can route e-mail to external SMTP servers.
Note: Always see your SMTP-server administrator before
changing the configuration of your SMTP server.
• Set up a special e-mail account for the Management Card.
This account then forwards the E-mail to an external e-mail
account.
Testing E-mail
In the Web interface, use the E-mail Test option to send a test e-mail
message to a configured recipient.
Setting Description
To
Address
Defines the user and domain names of the recipient.
To use e-mail for paging, use the e-mail address for the recipient’s
pager gateway account (for example,
[email protected] ). The
pager gateway generates the page.
Note: The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based
messaging.
Send via
Lets you choose one of the following methods for routing e-mail:
• Send e-mail through the Management Card’s SMTP server.
Selecting Local SMTP Server , which is the recommended option,
ensures that the e-mail is sent before the unit’s 20-second time-out,
and, if necessary, is retried several times.
• Send e-mail directly to the recipient’s remote SMTP server. If you
select the Recipient’s SMTP Server option, and the remote SMTP
server is busy, the time-out may prevent some e-mail from being
sent, With this option, the management card tries to send the e-mail
only once.
E-mail
Generation Enables (by default) or disables sending e-mail to the defined
recipient.
