Data Protection Manager (DPM) provides options for subscribing to notifications and to reports sent by e-mail. If you plan to enable either of these features, you must first configure the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server that you want DPM to use to send e-mail.

To configure the SMTP server

  1. In DPM Administrator Console, click the Action menu, and then click Options.

    The Options dialog box is displayed.

  2. On the SMTP Server tab, type the SMTP server name, the SMTP server port, and the e-mail address you want to display in the From box of the e-mail messages that DPM sends.

  3. To test the SMTP server settings, click Send Test E-mail, and type the e-mail address to which you want DPM to send the test message.

  4. Click OK.
