Configuring E-Mail notification
Requirement: To use e-mail notification, a group must have access to a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
server or e-mail relay.
1. Click
Group, then Group Configuration, and then the Notifications tab. See the online help for
information about the data fields and options.
2. In the E-Mail Event Notifications panel, select
Send E-mail to addresses.
3. Under E-mail recipients, click
Add and enter an e-mail address. You can enter up to five e-mail addresses to
receive e-mail notifications. Then, click
OK.
4. Under Event Priorities, select events for which you want to
generate an e-mail message. See About event
messages on pa
ge 14-1.
5. Under E-Mail Configuration Se
ttings, click Add and enter an IP address for the SMTP server or e-mail relay
that handles e-mail forwarding. Then, click
OK.
Use the
ip_address:port format to specify a port number other than the default (25).
You can enter up to three IP addresses. The group uses one
SMTP server or e-mail relay at any time. The first
server you specify is the default server. The group uses the other servers in the order specified, if the default
server is not available. Click the up and down arrows to change the order.
6. In the
Sender in e-mail address field, type the e-mail address that appears in the “From” field in the
notification e-mail. You can use the group name at your company’s e-mail address. For example:
[e-mail]. When the intended recipient receives e-mail, the e-mail itself specifies which group it
came from. This is helpful in multi-group environments.
7. Click
Save all changes (Control+S).
To test the e-mail notification, select
Enable live informational messages (you can later disable the
display of informational events), log out of the group, and then log in to the group. If an e-mail recipient does not
receive notification of the logout and login events, check and fix the configuration.
