Set Up Email Alerts
IDF Server Plug-in can send emails when selected alerts are triggered. To enable the email system, you
must give IDF Server Plug-in access to an SMTP mail server. You must configure your SMTP settings and
select which Alerts will trigger emails.
Configuring your SMTP Settings
The SMTP configuration panel can be found in System > System Settings > System.
Type the address of your SMTP mail (with the port if required). Type a "From" email address from which
the emails should be sent. Optionally enter a "bounce" address to which delivery failure notifications
should be sent if the alert emails can't be delivered. If your SMTP mail server requires outgoing
authentication, type the username and password credentials. Once you've entered the necessary
information, use the Test SMTP Settings to test the settings.
Configuring which Alerts should Trigger Emails
There are over 30 conditions that trigger alerts and you may not want all of them to trigger the sending of
an email. To configure which alerts trigger the sending of an email, go to the System tab on the System
> System Settings screen. Click "View Alert Configuration" to display the list of all alerts. The
checkmark next to the alert indicates whether the alert is "On" or not. If it is on, it means the alert will be
triggered if the corresponding situation arises, but it does not mean an email will sent out. Double-click an
alert to view its Alert Configuration screen.
To have an alert trigger an email, it must be turned "On" and at least one of the "Send Email" checkboxes
must be selected.
Specifying an email address
Type the email address to which Alert Notification will be sent on the System > Settings >
Notifications screen.
