Whenever you need to send emails from your Endian Hotspot Appliance - being it for event notifications or to use the SmartConnect functionality with emails - you might run into problems if your Internet connection uses a dynamic IP address. This might be the case when using an ISDN or an ADSL dialup Internet connection. The IP address you are using might have been blacklisted in some Realtime Blacklist (RBL) and therefore the remote mailserver might refuse your emails.
The SMTP proxy gives you the possibility to send emails through a known SMTP server (also known as smarthost) that could be provided by your Internet connection provider, your email-provider or another third party.
Note
When an external smarthost is configured, neither the SSL/TLS nor the STARTTLS protocols can be used.
Tick this checkbox to enable a smarthost for delivering e-mails and to show additional options.
The IP address or hostname of the smarthost.
The port on which the smarthost is listening, defaults to 25.
Tick this checkbox if the smarthost requires authentication. The next three extra options are then shown.
The username used for authentication on the smarthost.
The password used for authentication on the smarthost.
The authentication methods required by the smarthost: PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5, and DIGEST-MD5 are supported. More methods can be chosen by holding the CTRL key pressed and clicking on each of the desired methods.
This panel contains configuration options for the IMAP server that should be used for authentication when sending e-mails. These settings are especially important for SMTP incoming connections that are opened from the RED zone. The following settings can be configured:
Tick this checkbox to enable IMAP authentication and to show additional options.
