Configuring email settings for Daylite Delivery
Once you specify the Daylite database settings for report delivery, the next step is to configure the email settings. The email settings for Daylite Delivery include setting up the outgoing mail server, login and password (if necessary for authentication), and an admin email from which reports will be sent.
Keep in mind that you should configure the email settings on the server machine while logged in as a Daylite administrator.
To configure email settings for Daylite Delivery
- Launch Daylite Delivery.
- Click the General tab.
- By default, a built-in mailer called Delivery Mail is the mechanism for sending messages. However, if the built-in mailer is not able to deliver messages, then you can select Apple Mail as a delivery option. This requires that Apple Mail is configured and working on the computer running Daylite Delivery.
- Enter the name of the outgoing mail server and the port that you wish to use. By default, the port is set to 25.
- If you wish to use SSL, select Use SSL.
- If your mail server requires authentication, provide the following information.
- In the Authentication User field, enter the user name of your email account.
- In the Password field, enter the password of your email account.
- In the Sender Email field, enter the email address of a Daylite administrator. The Sender Email should be a valid email address. Reports will be sent from this account; for reports that could not make it to their destination, a delivery failure message will be sent to the address specified in Sender Email.
