The outgoing server settings page allows you to set the configuration for the outgoing SMTP server. It is shown below with the default pre-populated settings, which you should set to the appropriate settings for your network.
The outgoing server name should be set to an SMTP server. The default port for SMTP traffic is 25; change this if your server uses another port. Likewise, the default timeout should work for most servers; change this if necessary for your server. If your server requires authentication to send SMTP email, you can enter the appropriate information in the authentication box.
Tip: As an administrator, you probably already know your SMTP server settings; but if not, you can always get them from your email client program. Just pull up the settings for your email account, and copy the settings into the SMTP configuration dialog.
Note: Currently, the product only supports SMTP email. If you use another protocol to send email (for example, Microsoft Exchange), you will need to enable an outgoing SMTP server to send email from within this program. You can also use the execute program option to send mail via a command line program.
When you have entered all the information on this page and the General Settings Page, you can test the connection to the SMTP server by using the "Test These Settings" button. If the connection exists and the server allows a logon to send email using the current settings, the product will confirm that everything is set up correctly. If the connection fails, adjust the settings and try again.
