- Select the Enable SMTP check box.
- In the Server name or IP address field, type the server name or IP address of the messaging server.
- In the Port number field, type the port number.

In the Authentication type drop-down list, perform one the following
actions:
- Click Credentials and type the username and password to authenticate with the SMTP server. In the Handshake type drop-down list, select a type of handshake.
- Select None. If you select this option, verify that the SMTP server allows anonymous access.

If the SMTP server uses SSL, select the SSL check box and select an SSL type in the SSL type drop-down list.
If the SMTP server uses a self-signed SSL certificate, import the SSL certificate to the Windows certificate store on the computer that hosts the Core Module. - Click Test if you want to test the connection to the SMTP server and send a test email message.
