Configure Email Alerts
You can configure email alerts to use regular or secure Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) processing, depending on which mode is appropriate for your environment.
You might choose to use regular SMTP for email alerts if you have an SMTP server installed on your network that accepts email messages from external parties. You might choose to use secure SMTP if you have an SMTP server installed on your network, but prefer to disallow anonymous relays, or if you do not have an internal email server because you implemented cloud-based email, such as Office 365.
You can configure email alerts differently for each group of arrays. You must have at least Power User permission to configure SMTP-based email alerts.
Using the following command options you can modify group settings, change the hostname or IP address of the SMTP server or its port number, allow use of SMTP authentication and encryption (with options to change the authentication password and enable the level of encryption, when enabled), change the email address for sending and user receiving email alerts, enable email to be sent to support, and set the minimum event data alert level at which alerts are sent.
