Loupe Server Administration - Mail Server
In This Topic
To enable the Loupe Server to send email (most commonly for Notifications) it has to be able to communicate with an SMTP Mail Server. Use the Loupe Server Administrator to configure the Mail Server.
Specifying a Mail Server
When considering what mail server configuration to use, keep in mind that:
- The server & account must be able to send messages to any notification target that may be specified by a user.
- The account should have a non-expiring password or the server administrator should be proactive about updating the account information to ensure notifications flow when needed.
- It is possible for a significant number of messages to be generated in a short time frame.
Be sure to test the configuration using the Test option within the Server Administrator. This uses the same rules as Notification to send an email message to the party listed in the From address. In most cases a configuration problem will be immediately reported, but it is recommended to view the specified mailbox to ensure the message arrived.
