On the E-mail settings screen it is possible to set the parameters affecting the sending of e-mails. The following parameters are available:

SMTP server address

IP or DNS address of the SMTP server to be used for sending out e-mails.

SMTP server port

TCP port of the SMTP server, which the application should when sending out e-mails.

Username for SMTP authentication

Username used for authenticating to the SMTP server. If the SMTP server does not require authentication, leave the field empty.

Password for SMTP authentication

Password used for authenticating to the SMTP server. If the SMTP server does not require authentication, leave the field empty.

Transport security

The way of securing the communication with the SMTP serveru. One of the following must be selected:

  • none - communication will not be encrypted

  • SSL - an SSL secured connection is established first and all communication is done through it

  • STARTTLS - the communication begins unencrypted, but before sending the e-mail the encryption is started using the starttls command

Ignore certificate errors

If enabled and SSL/STARTTLS is used, see above, validity of SMTP server’s certificate will not be checked. If disabled and the SMTP server presents invalid or otherwise incorrect certificate, the sending of e-mails from the application will not work and emails will be stuck in queue.

Notification sender address

E-mail address, which will be used as the sender of all messages.

Subject prefix

The prefix, which will be prepended before the subject of all sent messages. The prefix will be enclosed in square brackets, so for example the prefix “SOFiE” will appear as “[SOFiE]“ in the subject of the messages.

Time zone

The time zone, which will be used for time in sent messages. The value must conform to the time zone names specified in “IANA Time Zone Database”. The list of available values can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones. Depending on the operating system, not all values may be supported.
