Configuring Email settings

Use this dialog to configure the default global settings for Email actions.

  2. Enter or select the appropriate information:
    • Destination email address. Enter the address that the Email action message should be sent.
    • From email address. Enter the address to be listed as "From" in the email sent by the Email action.
    • SMTP server. Enter the address of the server on which SMTP is running (email server).
    • Port. Enter the number of the port on which the SMTP service is listening. The standard SMTP port is 25.
    • Timeout (sec). Enter the amount of time (in seconds) that WhatsUp Gold should wait for a response from the SMTP server for each command WhatsUp Gold issues. If the time limit is exceeded, the email fails. The default timeout is 30 seconds.
    • Use SMTP authentication. Select this option if your SMTP server requires user authentication.
    • Username. Enter the username to be used with SMTP authentication.
    • Password. Entre the password of the username to be used with SMTP authentication.
    • Use an encrypted connection (SSL/TLS). If your SMTP server supports encrypting data over a TLS connection (formerly known as SSL), select this option to encrypt SMTP traffic.
