Required Fields

FQDN format: <SMTP_hostname>. <domain>.com

  • Username—Username of the SMTP server.
  • Password—Authentication password for the SMTP server.
  • From Address—The address from which the emailed report is sent. For example, this could be a support address so that recipients could respond for assistance.
