Users can configure the Address Manager mail service to send email using a particular SMTP host. New in Address Manager v9.5.0, users can configure the mail service with an SMTP username and password for authentication.
Note: This section describes how to configure the SMTP host, sender address, and optional
username and password. To start the email notification service and subscribe to events,
set up a notification group as detailed in Managing notification groups. The email address
associated with the user in the notification group is the mail service destination
address. To configure user accounts, refer to Managing Address Manager users.
Users can view current mail settings and modify them as needed. To view current mail settings, enter show mail from Main Session mode, or enter mail service configuration mode with configure mail, then enter show.
