Email setup

You must configure a fully qualified domain name for the system before configuring email. Select Settings > Clients, Networking, and Notifications > Networks > Hostname to configure the fully qualified domain name (for example, system.unitrends.com).

To configure email notifications from the Unitrends system

1        Access the SMTP email step in the Setup Wizard

OR

Select Settings > Clients, Networking, and Notifications > SMTP Server.

2        Enter the fully qualified SMTP server name or IP address in the SMTP Server field.

If a DNS record has not been configured for the system, use the IP address of the SMTP server.

3        Enter a valid email address in the Test E-Mail Address field.

4        If you have an externally-hosted SMTP server that requires authentication, configure authenticated mail relay by checking the SMTP Server Authentication Required box and entering username and password credentials.

5        Click Next to save the settings and continue with the Setup Wizard, or click Confirm to save settings in the SMTP subsystem.

A test email is sent, confirming that the SMTP settings have been administered correctly. Firewall and spam filters can delay or prevent delivery. See your company network administrator regarding these issues.
