Configure Application Server Email

The Application Server sends email using the following protocols:

• Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI)
• Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

By default, the Application Server uses SMTP and supplies its own SMTP server. However, you can configure the Application to use MAPI, or to use a different SMTP server.

If you use MAPI mail, you can configure the Application Server to send email to multiple recipients using the following modes:

One email to each of several recipients

Selecting this option sends the same email individually to each recipient. The list of other recipients appears in the body of the message.

One email to all recipients

Selecting this option is more economical, although it has the disadvantage of not sending the emails if one or more addresses on the list is incorrect.

Note: If the recipient list contains one or more invalid addresses, you get an error message. If you send multiple emails, the error message includes a list of the email that was not sent. If you send a single email to multiple recipients, the error message contains no such list.

Follow these steps:

1. Right-click the Application Server icon on the Windows taskbar and select Show.

   The Application Server toolbar opens.

   Note: When the Application Server is running, the icon is activated. If the Application Server is not running, select Start, Programs, CA, Storage Resource Manager, Application Server.

2. Click Options on the Application Server toolbar.

   The CA SRM Startup Options dialog opens.

   If you are using MAPI mail, go to Step 4. If you are using SMTP mail, go to Step 5.

3. (Optional) If you are using MAPI mail, type the profile name you created in a MAPI-compatible mail client in the Profile text box, and the password used by the profile in the Password and Confirm text boxes.
4. (Optional) If you are using SMTP mail, do one of the following:
   • If you want CA SRM to supply its own SMTP server, select Use SMTP Mail and check Act as SMTP Server.
   • If you want to use your company’s mail server, select Use SMTP Mail and type the IP address of your company’s SMTP Server. Type the User Name and Password to access this server.
5. Click OK.

   You have now configured the Application Server email.
