Setting up Mail parameters

The Mail parameters define the mail server used to send notifications.

To set the Mail parameters:

1. Click the Mail Settings sub-tab and enter the following information:

   • Mail server: Specify the outgoing mail server you wish to use to send task and server notifications, for example, smtp.example.com.
   • Port: Specify the port number where the mail server is located. The default value is 25.
   • Use secure email (SMTPS): Select to connect to the mail server (for sending notifications) using SMTPS.
   • Verify host: Select to verify that the host name in the certificate matches the host name of the mail server.

   • Verify peer: Select if you want the mail server to send a certificate proving its identity. On Windows, the certificate will be authenticated using the default CA certificates.

     • CA Path: On Linux, specify the location of the server CA certificate.
   • Anonymous login: Select to allow a Qlik Replicate user to access the mail server without having to provide any user credentials.
   • User name: Specify the user name for logging in to the SMTP Server.
   • Password: Specify the password for logging in to the SMTP Server.
   • Sender email address: Enter the email address that sends the email notifications. This is the address that appears in the From field of the email notification.
   • Send test email: Click to open the Send Test Email dialog box.
   • Email address for test email: Type an email address to receive a test email message from the server you configured. Use this to determine that the Mail Parameters you defined are valid.
