SMTP

An SMTP connection gives you the option of sending email with the Send Mail operator.

Create a connection​

New SMTP connection

To create an SMTP connection, the following information is required:

  • Connection name - The name you give to the connection

  • SMTP server - The hostname of your server

  • SMTP port - The port on which the server is available, e.g., 25, 465, 587, etc.

  • Username - Your username on the server

  • Password - Your password

  • Authentication - The authentication mechanism. In case of doubt, choose Auto.

    • Auto
    • CRAM-MD5
    • NTLM

  • Security - Encryption protocols

    • StartTLS
    • Enforce StartTLS
    • TLS
    • TLS 1.2 + PFS

  • Sender - The value of the sender field will populate the email’s FROM field

    • If you enable Use my username, the Send Mail operator substitutes the value of Username given above using the %{smtp.user} macro. If this value is not a valid email address, the operator defaults to [email protected].

    • To use a custom sender, disable Use my username. You can then manually configure the sender's email address and name:

      • If you specify only an Email address, it will be used as is in the FROM field.

      • If you specify both a Name and an Email, the operator formats the FROM field as:

        "Name" <[email protected]>
