Configure the global external SMTP server

When you have started the Activator server and logged on to the user interface for the first time, one of the first things you should do is configure an external SMTP server. The system uses this SMTP server by default to send mail, unless its use is overridden in certain cases.

  1. Click System management on the top toolbar to open the System management page.
  2. Click Configure the global external SMTP server to set up the server.
  3. Consult with your network or email administrator for the information needed to complete the configuration fields. Typically, only the "Server name" and "Port" fields need to be populated. The "User name" and "Password" fields are available, but are rarely used.
  4. Click Test… to test the connection to the SMTP server.
  5. If the connection test is successful, click Save changes....
