Server
Name or IP address of the server.
Note: If available, we recommend you to use an SMTP server within the local net-
work (messages sent by WinRoute are often addressed to local users).
SMTP requires authentication
Enable this option to require authentication through username and password at the
specified SMTP server.
Specify sender email address in “From” header
In this option you can specify a sender’s email address (i.e. the value for the From
header) for email sent from WinRoute (email or SMS alerts sent to users). Preset
From header does not apply to messages forwarded during antivirus check (refer to
chapter 11.4).
This item must be preset especially if the SMTP server strictly checks the header
(messages without or with an invalid From header are considered as spams). The
item can also be used for reference in recipient’s mail client or for email classifi-
cation. This is why it is always recommended to specify sender’s email address in
WinRoute.
Test
Click Test to test functionality of sending of email via the specified SMTP server.
WinRoute sends a testing email message to the specified email address.
