Send emails using CurrentWare’s email server
For added simplicity and convenience CurrentWare version 8.0.1+ comes pre-equipped with a service that handles email delivery for you!
No need to dig up mail server addresses, port numbers, and authentication details to receive alerts and reports—Simply set up your report schedules and alert criteria and they’ll be delivered to the inboxes you specify. You can find a guide on how to do that here.
On the Web Console, under the Settings option from the left-hand side, select Email Settings to confirm this setting is enabled.
