SMTP Email Dialog

SMTP is an email protocol that lets you send emails directly from CA OM Web Viewer without using your desktop email application. SMTP email is available based on permissions from your administrator.

Each email dialog has an SMTP version. SMTP email dialogs match the standard email dialogs except, they have some options that the standard dialogs do not have. For example, other than the additional SMTP options, sending multiple reports by email would have all the options that are listed for the standard multiple report email dialog.

All the SMTP versions of the email dialogs are started in the same manner and same places as the standard email dialogs.

Note: For detailed step-by-step instructions on how to start the email dialogs from a particular pane, see the instructions for each pane.

Depending on how your administrator set up CA OM Web Viewer SMTP Email, you may not be required to fill in the SMTP user name and password for your account on the outgoing email server. If they are not required, the respective text boxes are not displayed.

Follow these steps:

Start the Email Report dialog.
The Email Report dialog opens.

Note: You must send all pages when sending a binary report by email.
Complete the standard section of the email dialog.
Enter your SMTP user name for your account on the outgoing email server.
Enter your SMTP password for your account on the outgoing email server.
Type in your reply email address in the From text box.
This is the return address for your outgoing emails. Usually, you would use your office email, but, you can set the reply address to a different email account. Replies are forwarded to this email address.

Note: Regardless of the address you define here, the email is logged as coming from your account on CA OM Web Viewer.
Select Use Default to use your default information for the previous three steps.
Note: You can select this option only if you have configured your default SMTP options on the configuration tab.
Enter the required fields and a message, as you would for sending an email.
Click Email to send the report or reports by email.

Your original report remains open while you use Email. Click Cancel on the Email Report window to return to your report.
