Via the Email Fields. Open the email section and expand the Email Fields at the top by

respective email script. A new script will be added to the Scripts pane. Double-click the
new script to open it.
The default script adds the content of the selected data field to the header field.
If you want to write a more complex script, click the Expand button. The result of the script
should be a valid, fully-formed email address.
The language in which the script has to be written is JavaScript. For more information on
writing scripts, see "Writing your own scripts" on page260.
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601. To get started with Control Scripts,
refer to "Control Scripts" on page281.
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 PrintShop Mail Connect" on page599). 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.
l
Port: You can specify a port number. This will be added to the host name, for example:
smtp.mandrillapp.com:465.
