SMTP Server Host |
Specifies either a host name or IP address of a SMTP server. A host name can be specified only if a DNS is available to the device. This attribute is used in conjunction with Email DDA attribute. If no Email DDA destinations are configured, this attribute is ignored. |
|
SMTP Port |
Signifies the TCP port on which Email DDA should connect to deliver an email message. By default, this field is set to 25 (SMTP); however, some internal SMTP servers may be set up to non-standard ports, which require that this field be changed to match the listening port of the mail exchanger. If no Email DDA attribute exists, this attribute is ignored. |
|
Authentication Type |
Specifies the type of authentication used to send and receive emails. Depending on the selection you make, the fields on the Email tab become enabled or disabled to help you fill in only the fields required for that authentication type. If you select SMTP, the SMTP User Name and SMTP Password attributes become enabled. If you select POP-before-SMTP, the POP User Name and POP Password attributes become enabled. |

SSL Email Enabled |
When enabled or set to True, emails attempt to send over an SSL encrypted connection. If SSL is not supported, the email sends unencrypted unless SSL Email Ignoring Errors option is set to False. This attribute is disabled by default. |

SSL Email Ignoring Errors |
When True, the email is still sent even if the email server certificate appears to be invalid. When false, the email is sent only if the operating system can verify that the server sent a valid SSL certificate. The feature is only enabled if SSL Email Enabled is True. |
