Sending emails using SMTP server that requires authentication

A number of our customers have SMTP servers that require authentication. I am happy to inform you that we have included this long awaited feature in the Terminal Services Log 2.4.1. Now you can use your internal or one of publicly available SMTP servers to send your email alerts.

Here is an example how to configure our application to use Google Mail as SMTP provider:

  • Check “Enable e-mail sending”
  • Check “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication”
  • Check “Use encrypted connection (SSL)”

Type the following:

  • Server (:Port): smtp.gmail.com:587
  • Sender (email): your_email_address@gmail.com
  • Username: your_username (or your_email_address@gmail.com)
  • Password: your_password
