To setup Email and Fax Configuration:

|
Under the Email and Fax Configuration tab, complete the following after reading the following information: |
- User authentication is typically required for emailing through an ISP’s simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) server. An example of an email server name is “smtp.att.sbcglobal.net.”
- Server name must be SMTP server name, not a numeric IP address. An example of an IP address is “10.227.16.33.”
- Different ISPs may use different terms when referring to user authentication. In general, however, user authentication means verifying the identity of the user by means of a “user name” and “password.”
- In this context using an ISP’s SMTP server to send email through Sage 100 Contractor, user authentication refers to verifying a user’s identity at the ISP’s SMTP server. It does not refer to your Sage 100 Contractor username and password or to your network username and password.
- Some Internet-based email providers do not support SMTP protocol. For more details, contact the Internet-based email providers that you use.
- Sage 100 Contractor does not support SSL (Secure Socket Layer).
