Sending an E-mail with user authentication

This machine supports POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods to send an E-mail via an E-mail server that requires a user authentication. These methods prevent an unauthorized user from accessing the E-mail server. You can use Web Based Management and BRAdmin Professional 3 to configure these settings. You can use POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods for E-mail Notification, E-mail reports and Internet fax sending.

E-mail server settings

You need to match the settings of SMTP authentication method with the method used by your E-mail server. Contact your network administrator or your ISP (Internet Service Provider) about the E-mail server configuration.

You will also need to check SMTP-AUTHof SMTP Server Authentication Method to enable the SMTP server authentication.

SMTP settings

You can change the SMTP port number using Web Based Management. This is useful if your ISP (Internet

Service Provider) implements the “Outbound Port 25 Blocking (OP25B)” service.

By changing the SMTP port number to a specific number which your ISP is using for the SMTP server (for example, port 587), you would then be able to send an E-mail via the SMTP server.

If you can use both POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH, we recommend choosing SMTP-AUTH.

If you choose POP before SMTP for the SMTP Server Authentication Method, you need to configure the POP3 settings. You can also use the APOP method if needed.
