Configuring Proactive Mail Server Settings

The Proactive Mail Server settings enable you to set the address or address and port on the Mail Server used for Proactive e-mail confirmations.

Note:  By default, the Proactive component sends and checks for an e-mail confirmation through Post Office Protocol (POP3) using port 110.  To use a different POP3 Server, specify its settings on the Proactive tab. Proactive action is confirmed or denied by replying Yes or No.

To configure the Proactive Mail Server settings:

1. From the Left Navigational Pane, select the Local Monitor Server.  The Local Monitor Server configuration options are displayed on the Right Configuration Pane.
2. Select the Proactive tab.
3. Complete the following:

Setting	Description/Action
Server Address	Specify the Proactive Mail Server address.   You can specify an address. For example: pop.mycompany.com -OR- Specify the address and port. For example: pop.mycompany.com:111
Credentials	Select a system-wide credential. These are defined through the Credentials Manager. You can also click the button next to the field to display the Credentials window and create a new credential definition. To refresh the list, right-click the field and click Refresh. A [None] entry indicates that credentials are not used.
Response Timeout	The maximum amount of time (in minutes) to wait for a response from the e-mail server.
Enable Proactive Actions	Select the check box to enable/disable all proactive actions for all Monitors.
Use SSL	Select the check box to use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) when sending mail.

Note: If you change any of the configuration options, you are asked to Save when you select another component on the Left Navigational Pane.
