Setup Email Form
Faswin needs a SMTP mail server address in order to send emails. If
you are running a mail server in your company then that server is almost
certainly capable of doing SMTP emails. However you may need to explicitly tell
your server to accept SMTP emails (especially if you are using Microsoft
Exchange). If you're not sure please liaise with your network administrator.
You can get to the Email Settings form by going to the Setup menu and
then to the Email option.
The IP name, or address of your SMTP email server. You may need your network
support person to help you with this setting, or you can look in your own email
client to see what this value should be. (If you are using a common email
client, like Windows Mail, or Outlook then see the screen shots below which may
help you figure out the setting.)
This is almost always set to 25. If you're not sure check the settings in your
email client.
Most mail servers will not accept emails from just anyone. Thus you will need to
enter a legitimate email address, such as your own email address, here.
The account name of the user who will be sending the mail.
Most servers require a valid account name in order to accept emails
The password for the user which matches the account name above.
One of these settings may apply to your
server if you are connecting to the server over a TLS connection.
The next section on this page deals with common email clients. Knowing where the
SMTP settings are in your email client may help you identify what they should be
set to in Faswin.
