SMTP Configuration

SMTP Configuration

SMTP configuration enables ObserveIT to send messages and scheduled reports to Console Users.

To configure SMTP settings

  1. In the Configuration > Settings > SMTP Settings tab, enter the following information:

    • Name or IP address of the SMTP Server

    • Mail From email address

    • User Name and Password, to authenticate with the SMTP server

    This can be an internal SMTP server such as Exchange 2000/2003/2007/2010, an internal server running IIS and the SMTP service, or your ISP's outgoing email server.

    You can also configure a different port, if required by the SMTP service provider.

  2. Click Update to save the settings.

    When using your ISP's outgoing SMTP server, make sure that you are using the correct user name and password. When in doubt, contact your ISP.

    A message will be displayed confirming that the settings were successfully applied.

    To verify the settings, enter a valid email address in the Email Address text box, and click Send.
