This entity allows you to define mail servers able to push notifications to users.
It uses the nodemailer open source component.
In the notification event definition,
a dedicated mail server can be used. In the global setting
definition, a default mail server can also be defined.
The following information is associated with a mail server:
Name
The name used to reference the mail server.
Description
A user-friendly description. This information is entered by default in the current language.
Translation link:
You can enter descriptions in different languages using the corresponding widget.
Type
This defines the type of mail server. Currently, only SMTP is available.
Mail server
This is the path used to access to the mail server.
Port
This is the port number associated with the mail server.
Secure connection
If this check box is selected, the connection is encrypted. This is not yet implemented and reserved for future use.
Client server name
Defines the server on which the mail client runs.
Authentication
This field has two choices:
* No authentication: this is the default choice, when the mail server is able to send messages to users without requiring an additional authentication.
* Authentication with user and password: In this case, a user and a password have to be entered. A confirmation is required for the password.Sender email
This defines the email address of the notification sender.
Idle time
Opening a client session to send emails to the server is transparent when sending a notification, but it can be costly. This is why this parameter defines a time value (in milliseconds). When several notifications are sent during the time interval fixed by this parameter, the mail connection will remain open. It is only closed if the idle time is reached since the last notification.
More options
Defines an optional list of option codes for the SMTP transport and their values. The option codes are those allowed by the nodemailer component. The option code that is given must not include

, but only the last element of the option.Note:

are already contain values defined by the other parameters. It is therefore not necessary to define them, but if you do so, the values found in the grid will replace the defaults.Default theme
Indicates an optional theme that is used to format the email sent by the server.
The only operation available here is Test configuration. When this operation is triggered, a pop-up window opens where you can enter an email address, and a test email is sent to this address. If the email sending succeeds, a success message displays on the header line of the page.
