Email Settings

The Email Settings form allows you to specify the mail account settings.

In addition to the settings here, you should consider the following:

  • Refer to your email software's help documentation to determine the SMTP server address and port for the email account.  Alternatively, consult with your network administrator or email service provider to provide you with the correct SMTP server settings for the email account.
  • The DTS email facility currently does not support connection encryption (SSL and TLS).  An email account that does not use SSL or TLS encryption must be used. Refer to your email software's help documentation for further information or consult with your network administrator or email service provider.
  • Firewall settings on your network or computer may prevent DTS from communicating with the SMTP server.  Check your computer's firewall settings or consult with your network administrator if you are experiencing connection problems with the DTS email facility.
