Table 1: SMTP Settings
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Server Address | Specify the hostname for the SMTP e-mail server. |
TLS | Enable this option to protect the transmission of the content of e-mail messages. This setting ensures that the information will be transmitted over an encrypted channel. |
