If you are running services and P6 on the same server, you should keep the defaults. If you want to apply the service immediately, you should set the Interval low. Remember that if the server is actively applying the service, all users will experience delays in the application.
To set your mail service settings:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Services/Infrastructure Services.
- In the Mail Service section:
- In the Email Server field, enter the hostname or IP address of the email notification server.
- In the Security drop-down menu, select one of the following based on the security you are using:
- SSL
- TLS
- None
- In the SMTP(S) Port field, enter the TCP/IP port of the outgoing SMTP server. The default value is 465.
- In the Bounce Email Address field, enter the address where emails should be sent if delivery fails.
Note: Bounced emails will be sent to the person who sent them automatically. This bounce field allows you to send bounced emails to your administrators so they can investigate potential problems with emails.
- In the Sender's Email ID field, enter the address to be used for all emails sent from P6.
- In the Send Interval field, enter how often to send queued mail messages.
The default value is 1m.
Enter a value between 0 and 24d20h31m23s647.
- In the Maximum Queue Length field, enter the maximum size of the mail message queue.
The default value is 250.
Enter a value between 0 and 2147483647.
