5.2.5.1 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.digitalSTROM Server does not support 2-step verification for mail server login (e.g. offered by Google as optional setting).„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)
„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.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.Example: Option Use secure data transmission (TLS via port 25) inactive, whereas the mail server demands an encrypted transmission (TLS).
