Notifications Configuration
The notifications part of the configuration Settings, Clients Networking and Notifications subsystem allows users to configure the various methods of user notification associated with the Unitrends system, specifically e-mail and SNMP configuration attributes.
SMTP Server
By selecting the "SMTP" icon, the user may configure the SMTP server hostname. Prior to using this feature is it recommended that you enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name for the appliance (e.g. <system@domain>) in Settings->Clients, Networking, and Notifications->Network->Hostname. Performing this step will ensure that both the startup of the sendmail service and the relaying of emails can be accomplished without long delays.
If using Google Mail as the SMTP server then click the link in the box to the left hand side of the screen. Ensure the address is changed from username@gmail.com to the appropriate email address.
The user can test the SMTP Server configuration by filling in the server name and test email address field, then clicking the link with the box in the right hand part of the screen.
Authenticated EMail Relay allows you to send appliance reports to email addresses outside your domain by relaying the mail through an SMTP relay server. This feature is unavailable on pre-6.1.1 systems.
