If you have configured a scope action schedule to send a notification email, SMTP settings must be configured. These settings are used by Goverlan to send you the notification email. In some cases, your machines may already be configured with SMTP settings that Goverlan can use. In such a case, select the Use default settings option. However, the scope action may run using an account which does not have access to the default settings.
Select the Use the following SMTP settings option and configure the following parameters. Note: Most settings can be found under the settings of your email client (i.e., Outlook).
Outgoing mail server - Enter the mail server name to be used for sending email.
Server Port Number - The port number used to communicate with the SMTP server configured.
Most SMTP servers require a connection to authenticate itself. If appropriate, enable My outgoing server requires authentication and use this section to configure the credentials to be used to authenticate to your SMTP server.
Use the Run As account information - Select this option to use the same credentials as the ones configured to run the scope action (see Scheduling a Scope Action)
Use the following account - Select this option to specify the SMTP credentials username and password.
Once you have configured your SMTP settings, click on the OK button to return to the Scope Action Schedule Configuration window. It is good practice to test your SMTP configuration for accuracy. To do so, click on the Test Account button. Goverlan then uses the configured SMTP settings to send a test email to the configured email address.
