Configuring the SMTP Server

System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 provides options for subscribing to alert

notifications and to reports by e-mail. If you plan to enable either of these features, you must first

configure the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server that you want DPM to use to send e-

mail. Then specify which e-mail server you want to use.

For added security, the SMTP server can be configured as authenticated. When an SMTP server

is authenticated, DPM requires a specified user name and password for the server when sending

e-mail notifications and reports.

Note

DPM supports sending e-mail through both authenticated SMTP servers and

unauthenticated SMTP servers.

mail messages that DPM sends.

The e-mail address in the From box must be a valid e-mail address on the SMTP server.
