Symantec Backup Exec

Enable

Activates the notification method.

SMTP mail server

Shows the name of an SMTP mail server on which you have a valid user account. Backup Exec does not check the server name or the email address for validity.

SMTP port

Defaults to a standard SMTP port. In most cases, the default should not have to be changed.

Sender name

Indicates the sender’s name. Spaces and special characters are allowed here.

Sender email address

Indicates the email address of the user from whom the notification message is sent. The email address should contain a name that identifies the user to the mail server, followed by an at sign (@) and the host name and domain name of the mail server. For example, john.smith@company.com.

For a mobile phone: type the number of the mobile phone in email address format. For example: 1231231234@mymobile.com. Check with the mobile service provider for the correct email address for text messages.

Enable SMTP Authentication

Enables SMTP authentication, which logs the sender in to the mail server the SMTP notification is sent.

For SMTP authentication to work properly, anonymous access and TLS encryption must be disabled on the Exchange server.

SMTP server login

Indicates the login name of the sender on the SMTP mail server.

Sender password

Indicates the sender’s password on the SMTP mail server. Make sure that you provide a confirmation password. Backup Exec does not check the server name or the email address for validity.
