Setting email server options

You can select the mail protocol used with email sent from Surround SCM.

1. Choose Tools > Administration > Server Options.

The Server Options dialog box opens.

2. Select Email Servers from the Global Server Options category.

3. Select Enable sending mail via Simple Mail Transport Protocol to send email via SMTP.

• Enter the SMTP Host used to send outgoing mail. Enter an IP address (e.g., 123.34.5.26) or the fully qualified domain name of the mail server (e.g., mail.yourcompany.com).
• Select the SSL security protocol to use to encrypt communication between the mail server and the Surround SCM Server. You can use the SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, Negotiate, or STARTTLS 1.0 protocols. Select <not set> if you do not want to use a secure protocol.
• Enter the Port number used by the SMTP host. The default SMTP port number is 25 if no security protocol is set and 465 for all other protocols.
• Enter the Username and Password.
• Click Test Connection to test the SMTP connection.

4. Select Pause sending via SMTP only if you are experiencing mail problems and want to troubleshoot the cause. Email is not sent if this option is enabled.

5. Select Only send one message per SMTP connection to send one message per connection.

6. Click OK to save the changes.
