The Setup > Notification > E-mail Account screen contains the following
options:
•
SMTP Server includes the IP address or host name of the SMTP
server. IP addresses must be entered in dot notation (for example,
192.168.0.1) and cannot exceed 255.
•
Sender E-mail Address includes an e-mail address for the library (for
example, “[e-mail]”). The library uses this
address in the
From field of e-mail messages that it sends out,
indicating the originator of the message.
•
Send snapshot with e-mail notifications instructs the library to
automatically attach a library snapshot file (ASCII format) to most
e-mail notifications. This feature is turned off by default. Library
snapshot files can also be sent to specified e-mail addresses using the
capture snapshot operation. The capture snapshot operation allows
you to create the snapshot in ASCII format. See Capturing Snapshots
of Library Information on page 326.
•

password for the library. Selecting the box enables use
authentication. Clearing the box disables use authentication. The
following fields are only available if use authentication is enabled:

server (for example, “John.User”). The login account name can
contain the following special characters: @ and #.

the
Login Account text box. The password can contain the
following special characters: @ and #.
•

Send e-mail. Then check
the e-mail account to verify that an e-mail message was sent from
