Configuring an E-mail Server

You must configure your email server setting for Endpoint Security to send you alert email messages.

If you use Capsule Docs it is also important to configure this.

The settings include the network and authentication parameters necessary for access to the email server.

You can only configure one email server.

To configure the email server

  1. In Endpoint Settings > Alerts > at the top, click Email Service Settings.

    The Email Service Settings window opens.

  2. Enter these details.
  3. Host Name - Email serve host name.
  4. From Address - Email address from which you want to send the alerts.
  5. User Authentication is Required - If email server authentication is necessary, select this option and enter the credentials in the User Name and the Password fields.
  6. Enable TLS Encryption - Select this option if the email server requires a TLS connection.
  7. Port - Enter the port number on the email server.
  8. Test Email - Enter an email address to send the test to, and click Send Test.

    • If the verification succeeds, an email is sent to the email address entered and a success message shows in the Email Service Settings window.

    • If the verification fails, an error message shows in the Email Service Settings window.

      Correct the parameters errors or resolve network connectivity issues. Stand on the error message to see a description of the issue.

  9. Click OK to save the email server settings and close the window.
