Other header fields
At some point you may need to define a header field that isn't available in the Preferences or in
the Email Fields. This can be done in a Control Script. For a few examples of such scripts, see
"Adding custom ESP handling instructions" on page1477. To get started with Control Scripts,
refer to "Control Scripts" on page890.
Email SMTP settings
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard protocol for sending emails across the
Internet.
Default SMTP settings can be specified in the Preferences dialog: select Window >
Preferences, expand the Email preferences and click SMTP.
You can add as many presets as needed, for example for different Email Service Providers
(see "Using an ESP with PlanetPress Connect" on page1475). To do this, click the Add button
at the right. Then fill out the following settings:
l
Name: The name of the preset. This will show up in the Send Email dialog.
l
Host: The SMTP server through which the emails are to be sent. This can be a host
(mail.domain.com) or an IP address.
Tip
Gmail only allows Connect to be used as an SMTP client when "Access for less
secure apps" is enabled in the Google account settings.
l
Port: You can specify a port number. This will be added to the host name, for example:
smtp.mandrillapp.com:465.
Note
If the mail server supports it, the connection will be encrypted without the need to
send the server a STARTTLS instruction when port 465 is used.
