Entries

Depending upon which of the following entries you complete the Cobwebb program sending your email will perform various overrides:

If you enter an SMTP Server and Port number then these will be used instead of the default entries defined in the Email Parameters option from the System Parameters menu. If you leave either of these two entries blank then the default for that entry will be used.

If you enter an SMTP User and Password then this user will be used for authentication when sending the email. If you leave these entries blank then it will be assumed that user authentication is not required. Note: the default SMTP User and Password as defined in the Email Parameters option from the System Parameters menu will never be used if there is an override entry here for the sender's email account.

From email [address]

Enter the email address of the person sending the email for whom you wish to override the SMTP details. This entry is compulsory as this is how the Cobwebb email program decides if an override of the default SMTP settings is required.

SMTP Server

Enter the IP Address or Server Name of your SMTP Mail Server E.g. 192.255.255.1

SMTP Port

Enter the Port number of your SMTP Mail Server. Normally the default port for an SMTP Mail Server would be port 25.

Decide the type of encryption you wish to use to send email.

0

No encryption (default).

Use STARTTLS.

If your SMTP server requires user authentication then please enter a valid user name here. This may be left blank if user authentication is not required.
