Managing outbound emails

Set these outbound email properties in the Admin Console to manage all emails sent from SkyVault to users such as site invitations, activity notifications, and workflow tasks.

1. Open the Admin Console.
2. In the Email Services section, click Outbound Email.

   You see the Outbound Email page.

3. Set the email properties:

   Outbound Email property	Example setting	What is it?
   Hostname	smtp.example.com	This is the name of the SMTP(S) host server.
   Encoding	UTF-8	This is the email encoding type. The default is UTF-8.
   Editable Sender Address		This check box enables the From field in outbound emails to be edited to differ from the Default Sender's Address. When you deselect this check box, the Default Sender's Address is always used. You should deselect this option if your email server security settings require the From field to match the user name used for email server authentication.
   Email Server Port	25	This is the default port number for the email server.
   Default Sender's Address	SkyVault@demo.alfresco.org	The default address that is used in the From field of outbound emails if no alternative is available.
   Email Protocol	SMTP	Select a protocol from the list. This is the protocol that will be used when sending email.
   Username	anonymous	The account user name that connects to the SMTP server. The user name and password are only required if your server requires them for authentication.
   Password		The account user password.
