Options

Description

SMTP Server

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

By default, PDQ Inventory 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 using :<port#> (e.g. mail.company.com:587).

 

Enable SSL/TLS

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

If you select this option, PDQ Inventory 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 SSL/TLS 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 SSL/TLS.

SMTP Server User

The username of the email account PDQ Inventory 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 Inventory 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 Inventory 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.
