Configure the SMTP Server

Provide the library with SMTP server information so that it can use the server to send emails.

  1. Click Notifications in the left navigation area of the GUI.
  2. Click Configure Configure icon under the Email tab.
  3. Enter the SMTP information:
    • Enabled - Globally enables or disables all email activity for the library (including password recovery emails).
    • SMTP Host Address - Enter the email server host address.

    • From Name and From Email Address - The information that will appear in the "from" fields of the email client. Set short but meaningful values. For example:
      • Name: STK_Alert_YourLibraryName
      • Email Address: STK_Alert@YourLibraryName

      Note:

      If the recipient is using a spam filter, they should whitelist the library email address to prevent the filter from blocking the emails.
    • SMTP Protocol - TCP is open and unauthenticated. SSL and TLS are secure and require a username and password.
  4. After making any changes to the SMTP settings, you should add a recipient and send a test email.
