To avoid having to store confidential third-party access data on the digitalSTROM system, it is recommended to set up a separate email account for each digitalSTROM installation. The account can be set up with a free provider (e.g. gmail) and exclusively used for sending e-mail from the digitalSTROM Server.
The corresponding server settings and required access data are provided by your e-mail provider.
digitalSTROM Server does not support 2-step verification for mail server login (e.g. offered by Google as optional setting).
Server settings for the sending of e-mails
E-mail address
Sender address used to send messages by digitalSTROM Server Apps.
(e. g. dss11EGBadenerstrasse3c@gmail.com)
„Mail server name“
Name of the mail server (SMTP) used to send outgoing mails.
(e. g. smtp.gmail.com)
„Outgoing mail server requires authentication“
Please note that authentication via user name and password is usually mandatory on a mail server (SMTP) to send e-mails.
„User name“
User for authentication with mail server (SMTP).
(e. g. dss11EGBadenerstrasse3c@gmail.com)
„Password“
Password for authentication with mail server (SMTP)
(e. g. „EgBstr#3c“)
 

Use secure SMTP (SSL via port 465)
The transmission of data is encrypted with SSL (Secure Socket Layer).
For this purpose a communication port reserved for encrypted data transfers (port 465, TCP). is used.
Use secure data transmission (TLS via port 25)
The transmission of data is encrypted with TLS (Transport Layer Security).
For this purpose the default port for outgoing mail (port 25, SMTP) is used.
Verify server certificate
Decides if the certificate will be checked during mail server communication.
Server certificates confirm the association of a server with a person or company and are used as basis for encrypted SSL/TLS connections.
 
Use Check connection to check the accessibility of the configured mail server. However, no authentication will be performed and no test e-mails sent.
 
Use Send Testmail to verify authentication and encryption.
If the test is completed successfully a test mail will be sent to the configured e-mail address (sender). In case of an error the mail server error message will be displayed in a dialogue.
Example: Option Use secure data transmission (TLS via port 25) inactive, whereas the mail server demands an encrypted transmission (TLS).
 
After successful testing the settings must be saved by clicking on Apply.
