Overview

The SMTP settings used by QESTNet can be configured through the QEST Web App's SMTP administration page. SMTP settings are required to be able to email reports from QEST Platform products.

The following properties can be set on this page:

Fallback From Address: the address that will be used as the from address for emails sent from QESTNet. This will only be used if the user who sent the email does not have an email address set within the QEST Platform.
Host Name: the name or IP address of the host used for SMTP transactions.
Port: the port used to connect to the host for SMTP transactions. This defaults to 25.
Use default user credentials: determines whether the default credentials are used for SMTP transactions.
Username: Applicable only if the Use default user credentials checkbox is not checked. The username used to authenticate the client when performing SMTP transactions.
Password: Applicable only if the Use default user credentials checkbox is not checked. The password used to authenticate the client when performing SMTP transactions.

Testing the Settings

Once the settings have been entered, you can send a test email using those settings. The test will respond as to whether it succeeded or failed.

If the test fails, the reason will be displayed such that the settings can be corrected.
