Configuring the Email Server

IBM Aspera Faspex uses a SMTP server to communicate various events with users.
  1. Go to Server > Notifications and select E-mail Configuration.
  2. Choose open or login authentication. If you choose login authentication, you are required to enter login credentials for the SMTP server.
  3. Enter your SMTP Mail Server and its Server Port.
  4. To enable TLS, select Use TLS if available.
    Important: Faspex confirms whether the name in your TLS security certificate matches your mail server's configured address (fully qualified domain name or IP address). If it does not, Faspex displays an error. If your fully qualified domain name does not resolve with your internal DNS, you must add the IP address and name to your /etc/hosts file (or ensure the name resolves using DNS).
  5. Enter the domain of the SMTP server.
  6. If you chose login authentication, enter your login credentials.
    • User: The email account that you are sending the notification from (be sure to include the domain).
    • Password: The password for the email account.
  7. Configure email details.
    • Faspex "From" name: The "From" name that appears on Faspex-generated emails.
    • Faspex "From" email: The "From" email address that appears on Faspex-generated emails.
    • Packages received "From": Choose from Sender, Faspex, and Sender via Faspex. Selecting Sender shows package notifications as received from the sender's name." Selecting Faspex shows package notifications received from "Faspex". Selecting Sender via Faspex shows package notifications as received from the sender's name "via Faspex".
  8. Click Save.
  9. Test your SMTP server settings. Enter your email address and click Save and Send Test Email to send a test email.
    You should receive a confirmation email titled "Email settings test" with the message, "If you received this message, your email settings are configured correctly."
