Configure the mail server used to send DPA emails
To send email messages (such as alert notifications or scheduled reports), DPA must be able to connect to a mail (SMTP) server. By default, DPA uses a third-party SMTP email service (AuthSMTP). Alternatively, you can choose to use:
-
An embedded mail server that runs inside of DPA.
In some environments, this server might be blocked from sending email by firewalls or other SMTP restrictions.
-
Your company's mail server.
To change the mail server or update connection information, complete the following steps.
-
From the DPA menu in the upper-right corner, click Options.
-
Under Administration > Configuration, click Configure Mail Server.
The Mail Server Configuration page opens.
-
Under Choose a Mail Server, select the mail server you want DPA to use.
-
If you selected Company Mail Server, enter connection information under Company Mail Server Settings.
If DPA is configured to use credentials stored in CyberArk, this page displays a field for the CyberArk credentials query instead of fields for a user name and password.
-
Click Send Test E-mail to test the settings.
-
Click Save.
You do not need to restart DPA after you configure the mail server.
