From Email Address
|
|
|
|
This is the email address the email notifications will appear to be coming from
Although email notifications will sometimes work if this is a fake email address it is strongly
recommended that you use a valid email address since most email servers will return error messages
to the originating email address if there is an error, such as the destination mail box being full
Some SMTP Servers will only send email if the From address is a valid email address on that server

|
|
To Email Address
|
|
|
|
This is the email address that all Email Notifications will be sent to. This can be any valid
email address
|
|
|

Port Number
|
|
|
|
This is an advanced setting that can usually be left at the default value of 25
The Port identifies the port used to send email. Most email servers use port 25, but
some Internet Service Providers require a different port
Your Internet Service Provider can tell you what port is used to send email

|
Server Requires Authentication
|
|
|
|
Some SMTP Servers require a username and password to send email. If so this option must be turned
on and a valid username and password must be provided
If you are not sure if your SMTP Server requires authentication, or what your username and password are,
contact your Internet Service Provider
