This document outlines how to setup Email Operations for email notifications in Shavlik Protect
Steps |
---|
In Protect choose Tools> Operations >Email.
The E-mail tab enables you to specify if you want to use the automatic e-mail feature and to define the properties of the SMTP server used for sending the automatic e-mail messages and alerts. (See E-mail Overview for more details). To use this feature, enable the Enable e-mailing of notifications and results check box and then specify the name or IP address of the SMTP server you use.
Enable e-mailing of notifications and results | If you want to use the automatic e-mail feature, enable this check box. Enabling this check box enables the related options on this dialog. |
Server name or IP Address | Specify the name or IP address of your local SMTP server. For example: Exchange2.YourCompany.com |
SMTP Port | Specify the port used by the SMTP server. The default value is 25. |
Use TLS | If you want the target machines to contact the SMTP server using a Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection, enable this check box. |
Sender e-mail address | Specify the e-mail address that will be inserted into the From: address field of messages that are sent to users. If the default address causes problems for your SMTP server, change the address to an e-mail address accepted by your SMTP server. (Some SMTP servers only accept mail from particular addresses or domains.) |
Credentials | Select the credential (the user name and password pair) used to authenticate to the SMTP server. Note: Only shared credentials are contained in this list. If the credential you are looking for is not listed it probably means it is not defined as a shared credential. See Defining Credentials for information on how to share a credential. |
Test recipient e-mail address | Specify a known e-mail address you want to use when testing the e-mail process. |
Send a test e-mail | To verify the program can use the specified credentials to contact the SMTP server, click this button. |
