From mail service configuration mode, users can configure the SMTP host, sender address, and credentials for authentication. If the server has been upgraded to Address Manager v9.5.4, users can also enable SMTP TLS encryption (SMTP with STARTTLS) to send secure SMTP traffic over port 587.

Configuring the SMTP host and sender address

Users must configure the SMTP host for handling outgoing mail, and sender address for identifying the account that Address Manager uses to send mail.

To configure the SMTP host and sender address:

  1. From Main Session mode, type configure mail and press ENTER.
  2. Type set smtp-host <example.examplehost.exampledomain.com> and press ENTER.
  3. At the prompt, type yes and press ENTER to save the SMTP host.
  4. Type set sender-address <example@example.com> and press ENTER. The address you enter should be a valid SMTP account that Address Manager can use to send mail.
  5. At the prompt, type yes and press ENTER to save the sender address.

Configuring SMTP authentication

Users can configure an SMTP username and password for authentication.

To configure the SMTP username and password:

  1. From Main Session mode, type configure mail and press ENTER.
  2. Type set smtp-credentials and press ENTER to open the SMTP username and password configuration prompt.
  3. Type the SMTP username and press ENTER.
  4. Type the SMTP password and press ENTER.
    Note: The password can be any combination of letters, numbers, and symbols (ASCII-standard characters only).
  5. Type the SMTP password again and press ENTER to confirm.
  6. Type yes and press ENTER to save the username and password configuration.
Tip: To remove the current SMTP credentials, use the remove smtp-credentials command while in mail service configuration mode.

Enabling SMTP TLS encryption (Address Manager v9.5.4)

Users can enable SMTP TLS encryption (SMTP with STARTTLS) to send secure SMTP traffic over port 587.

To enable SMTP TLS encryption:

  1. From Main Session mode, type configure mail and press ENTER.
  2. Type set smtp-tls-encryption enable and press ENTER.
  3. Type yes and press ENTER to enable SMTP TLS encryption and change the SMTP port to 587.
Tip: To disable SMTP TLS encryption, use the set smtp-tls-encryption disable command while in mail service configuration mode.
