Mail Server Preferences Page

The Mail Server settings manage the SMTP server that PDQ Deploy uses to send email notifications of completed deployments and completed schedules.

IMPORTANT: This feature is available only in Enterprise mode.

To access the Mail Server settings page, click Options > Preferences (or press Ctrl+Comma) and select Mail Server in the Preferences window. To access the Notifications, click Reports > Notifications.

The following table describes and explains the Mail Server options:

Options

Description

SMTP Server

The name or address of the SMTP server PDQ Deploy uses to send notification messages.

By default, PDQ Deploy connects to the SMTP server on port 25. If the SMTP server does not use port 25 for SMTP communications, then you must append the custom SMTP port assignment to the server name (e.g. mail.company.com:587).

 

Enable SSL

Configures PDQ Deploy to send email notifications using TLS/SSL.

If you select this option, PDQ Deploy connects to the SMTP server on port 465. If the SMTP server does not use port 465 for secure SSMTP communications, then you must append the custom SMTP over TLS/SSL port assignment to the SMTP server name (e.g. mail.company.com:587).

IMPORTANT: To support this option, your mail server must be configured to support TLS/SSL.

SMTP Server User

The username of the email account PDQ Deploy uses to authenticate with the SMTP server.

NOTE: This option is required only if your SMTP server requires password authentication.

SMTP Server Password

The password of the email account PDQ Deploy uses to authenticate with the SMTP server.

NOTE: This option is required only if your SMTP server requires password authentication.

Sender Email Address

The email address from which PDQ Deploy sends email notifications.

 

Send Test Email

Click Send Test Email to relay a test message through the SMTP server.

Use this option to validate the mail server settings.
