Parameter

Description

Example

E-mail server (SMTP)

Address of the mail server via which the E-mails are sent.

The IP address can be entered as an absolute address or symbolic name.

The following applies to symbolic names:

A valid name has 1 to 64 characters of which at least one character must be a letter.

If one or more "." characters are used, the following constraint also applies: A valid name must have 1 to 63 further characters after the last "."; here only the characters [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9] or [-] are permitted and at least one of these characters must be a letter.

A symbolic name can only be used if the Internet CP knows the address of the Domain Name System (DNS). A suitable entry is required in the configuration of the Internet CP in HW Config. For more detailed information, refer to the HW Config online help.

A maximum of 64 characters can be entered.

absolute: 140.80.0.4

symbolic name: t-online.de

Default sender name

Specifies an address that is always included in the E-mail as the sender address if the sender information (FROM parameter) is empty in the header of the E-mail.

This information is normally irrelevant for delivery of the mail. It is simply information for the mail recipient. Since some mail servers do not forward jobs if there is no sender information, it is advisable to enter information here!

A maximum of 126 characters can be entered.

Note:
Remember that a default sender name must be specified if you want a test mail to be initiated by diagnostics.
