SMTP Server

Configure the SMTP server filling in the following fields:

  • Protocol: the protocol connection, select SMTP ot SMTPS. To add a trusted certificate to Genius Server, refer to the [Advanced] Certificate section.

  • SMTP hostname: the hostname of SMTP server.

  • SMTP port: the port used to listen (mostly 25).

  • SMTP username: the user of the SMTP server.

Hint

Please note that 2-factor authentication must be disabled for this user.

  • SMTP Password: password used for the authentication. If the authentication in not required for the server, do no fill fields in.

  • Confirm SMTP password: confirm the password entered in the upper field.

  • Azure OAuth enabled: enable this to use Azure OAuth2 strategy username and password.

  • Azure application id: enter the application ID from Azure for this application. No password necessary.

  • Override BPM Mail node sender address [Advanced]:

Note

Note that the Microsoft Azure application requires the delegated permission SMTP.Send with admin consent. Also, public client flows must be enabled. For more information regarding Microsoft Azure configuration, please refer to MS Azure Configuration. Note that the SMTP Server configuration requires only the Azure Authentication Application configuration.

  • StartTLS: it is a way to supplement an insecure communication protocol with a secure connection using SSL/TLS. StartTLS is defined for SMTP, IMAP, POP3, LDAP, FTP and other protocols and even though TLS or SSL connection are used, it avoids using a separate port for the encrypted communication.

    • DISABLED: by default the communication between Genius Server and SMTP server is performed in plain text.

    • ENABLED: Genius Server attempts to use StartTLS with SSL/TLS. If the remote peer does not support StartTLS, or peers cannot agree on a cryptographic protocol and cipher, Genius Server falls back on an unsecured communication protocol.

    • ENABLED AND REQUIRED: Genius Server attempts to use StartTLS with SSL/TLS. If the remote peer does not support StartTLS, or SSL/TLS handshake fails, the connection terminates. No fallback to a connection without security is made.

    Note

    StartTLS is only used with SMTP protocol.

  • Timeout: the timeout connection to SMTP server before it is considered unreachable.

  • MIME address strict: Enables the strict parsing of addresses, according with RCF822. If disabled, illegal addresses that sometimes occur in real messages are allowed.

  • Attachment as URL enabled: if checked, it enables the replacement of all attachments by a link for the download.

  • Max attachment threshold size: the maximum size for attachments to be sent through an e-mail.

Users can verify the right configuration for the selected protocol. To send an e-mail, click on the Send test email menu button, enter the sender (Email from) and the recipient (Email to), and press the Test button.

To verify that the e-mail has been sent, check the mailbox.

If the configuration is wrong, the result will be an error. If the configuration is right, the mail is sent to a recipient.

To modify an existing mail server, select the server and press the Edit button.

To delete an existing mail server, select the server and press the Trash button.

To add a trusted certificate to Genius Server see [Advanced] Certificate.

To save, press the Save button and then Back.
