Email Account form –
Completing the Outgoing Mail tab

Field

Description

Specify the e-mail address associated with this e-mail account using the format recognized by your Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) host. Typically the format is [email protected]. If your SMTP host requires authentication, include one @ character.

You do not need to enter a working e-mail address that can receive email, but do enter a correctly formatted address accepted by the SMTP host. Do not include spaces in the address.

Identify the Internet IP address or the domain name of the Simple Mail Transport Protocol host, for example exchdev.myco.com.

Optional. If required by the email server, enter the password for the email account.

Optional. Enter text that appears as the full name of the sender.

Optional. Identify an email address that recipients of email messages sent from this account can reply to. Use a working, valid email address that is reviewed by a person or is processed.

Specify whether to use Secure Sockets Layer protocol to send e-mail messages through this account.

After you save the Email Account form, click to confirm that Process Commander can connect to the SMTP host identified on this tab. Clicking the button does not send an e-mail message; it merely pings the server. Although the test doesn't use the values in the Email Address and Password fields, the test cannot succeed if those fields are blank.

Optional. If your application is to send digitally signed email message, identify a Keystore data instance. See About Keystore data instances.

For instructions on sending digitally signed email, see How to send digitally signed email.

Optional. Enter one or more characters that match all or part of a specific certificate within the keystore data instance. If blank, Process Commander selects the first one it finds of the correct type.
