Configuring SMTP settings for email notifications

In the Management Server console, you can configure the SMTP setting for Management Server to receive email notifications. You must configure these settings to receive email notifications for alert rules or policy check scan completion, or to send a report by email.

You can also send a test email to the recipient's account to verify the SMTP settings that you have configured.

Enter the following details to configure the SMTP settings:

SMTP server	Valid formats for SMTP server include: Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), IP address, or, if the network handles DNS resolution for host names, a shortened host name. Examples: Host123, Host123.example.com, xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa.
Sender account	The email address that is entered in the Sender account appears as the sender of all the emails that a rule sends out.
SMTP port	Enter the SMTP mail server port number.

To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the Management Server perspective.

To configure the SMTP settings for email notifications

In the Home page on the Management Server console, click Settings.
In the Settings tab, click Management Server.
In the Server settings tab, under SMTP settings, do the following:
- Enter the SMTP mail server host name in SMTP server.
- Enter a valid email address in Sender account.

To verify the SMTP settings

In SMTP Settings, under Test SMTP, do the following:
- Enter a valid email address of the recipient in Recipient Account.
