Veritas 9.1 Email notification

[Jamie_Gee]

hi
we use the email notification to send us when the backups are done. We have changed to an SMTP email provider that requires authentication. Is there any place to put in the password info for EMail notifications send via SMTP?

Thanks
JAMIE

I am aware of hiw to set up the SMTP

I see no place hwever to enter SMTP authentication information like
USERNAME and PASSWORD that is required to log onto SMTP servers.

Can you see if there is any place to enter this info in BE 9.1 to send messages?

Is there an SMTP log file generated so I can see what is happening, if anything?

I don't believe Veritas supports this function.

Really, if you're big enough to purchase Veritas, you shouldn't find it to big a deal to run your own SMTP service. Not just for Veritas- your business will be better off for it.

Hi Jamie, I hope i'm not teaching you to suck eggs, but the only time you need User name and Passwords is to recover e-mail not send it. unless, you have authentication set on your e-mail server for that account which in turn can be disabled for that account in Exchange AD.

Hope this helps.
