SMTP server configuration for delivery of notifications

To define the SMTP server settings for sending notifications:

1. In the Management Console tree, select the protected SharePoint server on which you want to configure the SMTP server.
2. In the node tree of this server, select the Notifications node.

   The workspace of this node displays the notification settings.

3. Configure the following settings in the SMTP server settings section:
   • Email addresses of SharePoint administrators.

     The application sends any notifications of application operation events to those addresses. You can configure notifications in the Event notifications node.

     Use a semicolon to separate email addresses in the entry field.

     No addresses are specified by default.

   • Email address from which the application will send notifications of events in the application operation.

     By default, the application sends email messages from the email address, which is specified in the SMTP server settings on SharePoint.

4. Select the method of SMTP server configuration from the following options:
   • Use SMTP server settings on SharePoint.

     The application uses the settings of the SMTP server defined on SharePoint. If the settings of the SMTP server have not been defined on SharePoint, the application will not be able to send email messages.

     This is the default option.

   • Use custom SMTP server settings.

     The application uses the settings of the SMTP server that have been specified manually.

     If you select this option, the SMTP server address, Account, and Password fields become available. In this fields, you can specify the settings of the SMTP server that you intend to use for sending email messages.

5. If you need to test the operation of the SMTP server that has been configured manually, click the Send a test message button.
   

   The program sends a test email message according to the current settings of the SMTP server.

   If the test message has been sent successfully, the application recommends checking the administrator's email. If the test message has not been sent, the application displays information about errors that occurred during the attempt to send the message.

   The button is active when the administrator's email address and the SMTP server address are specified.

6. Click the Save button in the upper part of the window.

The application saves the SMTP server settings for sending notifications.
