System Email Notification Preferences

System email notification settings are configured under Administration | System | Features | Email | Email Notification. 

• Enable Email Notification—When disabled, no email notification is sent by FootPrints. This overrides any Workspace settings or user preferences that may be set. This option is useful if you can't connect to a mail server. 
• SMTP Server—Specify the SMTP server (Windows only).
• SMTP Server Port—Define the port number for the connection.
• SMT Server Encryption Method—Select the encrypted connection type. Options are No Encryption, TLS (default port 587), and SSL (default port 465). By default, the secure SMTP option is disabled. Refer to the Supported Platforms web page for a list of the secure SMTP servers that are supported.
• Default Reply Address—This is the address that is displayed in the From and Reply to fields of all outgoing notification email sent by FootPrints.  Any direct replies to FootPrints notification email go this address. Individual replay addresses can also be specified for individual Workspaces.  Refer to Incoming Mail Setup for additional information.
• Default “From” Name—Specify a name here for mail sent by FootPrints. This is the name displayed in the From field of email notification.  By default, this is FootPrints.  This name can be changed, for example, to your company or department name. Different From names can be defined for individual Workspaces.  Refer to Incoming Mail Setup for additional information.
• Default “Domain” Name—Specify a domain for mail sent by FootPrints. This is the email domain that is added on to email addresses where the user has no domain specified. For example, if customers are configured to only enter their email ID names (e.g., jsmith) and your organization’s email domain is @widget.com, enter widget.com here and FootPrints appends that domain when sending an email to a user, e.g., [email protected].
• Default Sendmail Command (UNIX/Linux only)—Specify a sendmail command here for mail sent by FootPrints (UNIX and Linux only).  This is the sendmail command FootPrints uses if you use something other than the Unix/Linux sendmail program for email processing.

• Pager/Wireless Servers—Define certain email domains that should receive shortened email notification.  Enter the email domains that FootPrints should recognize for sending mail to wireless devices.  Any email notification that goes to these domains follows the email format defined on the Email Preferences page (in Workspace Administration) for pager/wireless.  Enter a space-separated list of domains, e.g., palm.net skytel.net motorola.com.
• Send Introduction Email—If this option is selected, users can receive an introductory email the first time a notification email is sent to their email address. For more information, see Formatting Introduction Email
• Mass Mail—The Mass Email feature allows you to send a broadcast email to contacts in the Address Book.  Mass Mail Settings
