E-mail recipients (Administration>Notification>E-mail>recipients)
. Use this option to
identify up to four e-mail recipients.
E-mail test (Administration>Notification>E-mail>test). Use this option to send a
test message to a configured recipient.
Setting Description
To Address Defines the user and domain names of the recipient. To use e-mail for paging, use
the e-mail address for that recipient’s pager gateway account (for example,
myacct100@skytel.com). The pager gateway will generate the page.
You can bypass the DNS lookup of the mail server’s IP address by using the IP
address in brackets instead of the e-mail domain name. For example, use
jsmith@[xxx.xxx.x.xxx] instead of jsmith@company.com. This is useful when DNS
lookups are not working correctly.
N
OTE:The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based messaging.
SMTP
Server
Selects one of the following methods for routing e-mail:
• Local: Through the Main Module’s SMTP server (the recommended setting).
This option ensures that the e-mail is sent before the Main Module’s 20-second
time-out, and, if necessary, is retried several times. Also do one of the following:
• Enable forwarding at the Main Module’s SMTP server so that it can route e-
mail to external SMTP servers. Typically, SMTP servers are not configured to
forward e-mail. Always check with the administrator of your SMTP server
before changing the configuration of the SMTP server to allow forwarding.
• Set up a special e-mail account for the Main Module to forward e-mail to an
external mail account.
• Recipient: Directly to the recipient’s SMTP server. On a busy remote SMTP
server, the time-out may prevent some e-mail from being sent because, with this
option, the Main Module tries to send the e-mail only once.
When the recipient uses the Main Module’s SMTP server, this setting has no
effect.
E-mail
Generation
Enables (by default) or disables sending e-mail to the recipient.
