• SMTP user name: User name when logging on to the SMTP server
• SMTP password: Password when logging on to the SMTP server
• SMTP port: Port for the connection between the UMS and the SMTP server. For unencrypted SMTP, port 25 is used by default. For SMTP-SSL, the default port is 465; for STARTTLS, it is port 587.

   The mails will be sent with SMTPS encryption.

• Activate SMTP-STARTTLS

   TLS encryption for transporting mails will be enabled in accordance with the STARTTLS procedure.

• TLS Protocols Available: Defines the protocols used for communication with the SMTP server.

  

  If no protocol is selected, TLS 1.0 is used. At least one protocol has to be selected. If more than one version is selected, the best choice selected (starting from left) which is accepted by the SMTP server is used.
