General

From Display Name

Used in the SMTP From field as a meaningful substitution for the sender's address. The default is Oracle BI Delivers <iBots@defaultmailserver.com>.

Sender Address

Email address on the SMTP Server used as the sender's reply-to address for all mail sent from Oracle BI Scheduler.
The initial value is defaultuser@defaultmailserver.com, which must be changed to reflect a valid email address.

NOTE:  If you want to indicate that email recipients should not reply, consider adding "no_reply@mycompany.com" or "do_not _reply@mycompany.com" to this field.

SMTP Server

Name of the SMTP server that delivers the mail. The initial value is defaultmailserver.com, which must be changed to a valid server name to deliver mail.

You can find this information in the email client settings

SMTP Port

Port number for SMTP on the given server. Most mail servers use port 25 as the mail port. The default is port 25.

Number of Retries Upon Failure

If Oracle Delivers fails to deliver an email, it tries to resend it. Number of Retries Upon Failure sets the number of retry attempts.
The default is 1.

Maximum Recipients

Prevents sending to more recipients than your mail server's limit. If the mailing list has more subscribers than the Maximum Recipient value, Oracle Delivers splits the list into smaller lists and sends an email for each list.
The default is 0, which means unlimited.

Use Bcc Instead of To

Puts the subscribers list on the BCC line instead of the To line.
Prevents subscribers from seeing the names of the others on the list and accidentally (or maliciously) replying to the entire list.
This box is checked (Yes) by default.

General (continued)

Authenticate against SMTP Server

Specifies that the SMTP Server requires authentication to send email to an address outside of its domain.
When you select this field, fill in the Username and Password fields for an email user on the SMTP server. When this field is not selected, the Username and Password fields are not used.

Username

When you select the option Authenticate against SMTP Server, Username specifies the user name for an email user on the specified SMTP server. If left blank, the email server does not authenticate any email from Oracle Delivers.

Email Password/Confirm Password

When you select the option Authenticate against SMTP Server, these fields specify the user's password for the specified user name.

Advanced

Use Secure Socket Layer

This box is unchecked by default. Select this box to enable the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for mail delivery. After selecting this box, you must enter the SSL information.

NOTE:  The SSL fields allow you to configure the SMTP mail server to communicate via SSL. For more information about setting up and locating the SSL information to enter into these fields, see the Oracle Business Enterprise Edition Deployment Guide.
