The Email Server settings enable the BCX Server Service to automatically distribute
user defined alerts configured in the Task Automation feature.

SMTP Server types available are as follows:
SMTP Server
SMTP Server with Basic Authentication
SMTP Server with SSL Secure Authentication
SMTP Server with SSL Secure Authentication (Ignore Certificate Errors)

We also recommend a dedicated user be set up to relay the email as.

Once set up, the configuration can be confirmed by using the Save and Send Test Email function.



Examples:

Exchange
Depending on your requirements, this can be set up as a simple SMTP Server,
however you will probably need to set up a connector to allow the BCX server to relay in exchange
Exchange Receive connector to allow BCX Server Service to send email

SMTP Server Address: Exchange01
Port: 25
SMTP Username: bcxmiscompare@myschool.com
SMTP Password: *******
Email From Name: BCX MIS Compare
Email From Address: username@myschool.com

Office 365
For Office 365 use SMTP Server with SSL Secure Authentication
The 365 from address must be same as the username, or have rights on that mailbox.
(You can configure a different from name, but 365 will change it to the account holder name)

SMTP Server Address: smtp.office365.com
Port: 587
SMTP Username: bcxmiscompare@myschool.onmicrosoft.com
SMTP Password: *******
Email From Name: BCX MIS Compare (Note Office 365 rewrites this with Display Name set in 365)
Email From Address: bcxmiscompare@myschool.onmicrosoft.com (For Office 365 this must match the SMTP username or be granted Send As)

Gmail
For Gmail use SMTP Server with SSL Secure Authentication
Gmail will allow a different from name and from address,
but will replace the from address with the username address configured previously
You may need to Allow Less Secure Apps for Gmail to relay the mail.

SMTP Server Address: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
SMTP Username: bcxmiscompare@gmail.com
SMTP Password: *******
Email From Name: BCX MIS Compare
Email From Address: bcxmiscompare@myschool.com (Note Gmail rewrites this with the preconfigured account Address)
