Using Your SMTP Server:
If you use your own SMTP server, you must have a valid SMTP server set up independently of Remark Classic OMR. SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and is the Internet standard for transmitting email across networks. It is likely your organization has a running SMTP server already set up. You just need to find out general information about the server. You will likely need to consult with your network/email administrator to obtain information about your SMTP server. Please use the following table as a guide to have your administrator provide the proper settings:
SMTP Server:
This is the name, address or IP address of the mail server.
SMTP Port:
The SMTP port is usually 25 but may vary with your email server.
Enable a secured SSL connection:
If desired, use a secure connection by marking the checkbox for Enable a secured (SSL) connection. SSL encrypts data as it is transmitted. Your SMTP server must be configured to use SSL in order for this feature to work.
Use the default credentials of the currently logged in user:
If you need to use authentication for your SMTP server, you can enter credentials or use those of the user logged in to the computer. Mark the Use the default credentials of the currently logged in user checkbox to utilize the user's credentials (e.g., the person logged in when sending the emails from Remark Classic OMR). Otherwise, continue to the next step to enter specific credentials.
Username and Password:
If authentication is required, and you are not using the credentials of the currently logged in user, enter the Username and Password, as supplied by your network/email administrator.
Throttle Rate:
The throttle rate adds a delay while sending emails. The default setting is 500ms, meaning that one email is sent every 500 ms (in other words, two emails are sent per second). Throttling emails keeps the SMTP server from being overloaded when sending large numbers of emails. Unless you plan on sending hundreds of emails at one time, the default setting of 500 is likely fine.
Using Microsoft Outlook:
If you plan to use Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010, you do not need to set up anything outside of telling the software to use Outlook.
To choose Microsoft Outlook or your own SMTP server in Remark Classic OMR:
1. From the Remark Classic OMR Data Center, select the Tools menu and then click Preferences. Click the Email link in the left Task Pane.
2. Under Email client, choose Default to use your own SMTP server. Choose Outlook to use Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010. If you are using Outlook, simply click OK. If you are using the default email client, continue to the next step.
3. If you have chosen the Default client, click the SMTP Server button. Fill in the settings as described in the above text. You will need your network/email administrator to provide this information to you.
4. Click the OK button.
