The fields on the SMTP tab allow you to configure an e-mail server that uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.SMTP, which is used for sending outbound e-mail. Properties include:
Host – the host name of the mail server for the SMTP protocol. An entry in this field overrides the Host property on the General tab.
User – the user name to use when connecting to mail servers using the SMTP protocol. An entry in this field overrides the User property on the General tab.
Advanced Properties, including:
Port – the port number of the mail server for the SMTP protocol. If not specified, the protocol’s default port number is used.
From – to help prevent spoofing, you can enter the login name of the sender of the e-mail message for this session.
Submitter – the name of the SMTP responsible submitter.
Extensions – enter a comma-separated list of SMTP service extensions for this mail session. The table below lists SMTP service extensions. The server response to a client EHLO command includes a keyword for each service extension the server implements.

Delivery Status Notification (DSN) – select the type of status notification to enable:
Negative – notify if the message was not delivered
Positive – notify if the message was delivered.
Delivery Status Notification RET – specifies whether or not the message should be included in any failed status notification issued for this message transmission:
FULL – requests the entire message be returned in any failed delivery status notification issued for this recipient.
HDRS – requests only the headers of the message be returned.
Send Partial – send the message even if it has some invalid addresses, and report any failures. If unselected (the default), the message is not sent to any of the recipients if there is an invalid recipient address.
Quit Wait – causes the SMTP transport to wait for the response to the QUIT command. If false, the QUIT command is sent and the connection is immediately closed.
Report Success – causes the SMTP transport to include an SMTPAddressSucceededException for each address that is successful.
Enable STARTTLS – create an encrypted connection over which e-mail messages are sent.
SASL Realm – a Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) realm or domain for authentication and data security. EAServer may have multiple realms defined. If this realm does not match one of the realms or domains offered by the server, authentication fails.
Enable EHLO – SASL supports several password types which have differing security properties. Different SMTP clients may support some or all of these password types. When the client issues an EHLO command, the server informs the client which types it supports, for example, STARTTLS or DIGEST-MD5. The client chooses the first of the listed methods that it also supports, and issues an AUTH request.
Enable Auth – if selected, you must provide a user name and password, and the server attempts to authenticate the client.
