Mail Settings

Mail Settings has the connection information for sending an email. Only two protocols are supported: SMTP and TLS. Typically SMTP is port 25, and TLS is port 587. SSL (port 465) is not supported since it has been replaced by TLS.

Up to three different mail servers can be configured. The Primary Mail Server is the preferred one. This provides some resilience in the mail delivery service. In case VPAM is not able to connect to the primary server, it uses the First Backup Mail Server to send emails. In case the First Backup Mail Server is not usable, VPAM tries the Second Backup Mail Server instead.

Test emails can be sent from the Mail Settings section. This makes it easy to verify that the mail settings for each server are correct before saving the configuration.
