Define the default SMTP connection

You can set the default email account that can authenticate against an SMTP server to send and receive email notifications.

Note: Avoid load balancers when configuring mail in Automation Orchestrator. Otherwise, you might receive SMTP_HOST_UNREACHABLE error.

Procedure

1. Log in to the Automation Orchestrator Client.
2. Navigate to Library > Workflows and enter the mail tag in the workflow search box.
3. Locate the Configure mail workflow and click Run.
4. On the Host tab, enter the IP address or domain name of your SMTP server and a port number to match your SMTP configuration.
   The default SMTP port is 25.
5. On the Credentials tab, enter a user name and password for authentication.
   Enter a valid email account and an associated password. Automation Orchestrator uses the email account to send emails.
6. On the Email Content tab, enter a sender's email address and name.
   The sender information appears in all emails sent by Automation Orchestrator.
7. Click Run.
