Configure IBM Aspera Faspex to allow users to send packages to
external email addresses not associated with a Faspex account.
-
Go to Server > Configuration > Security and find the
Outside email addresses section.
-
Select Allow sending to external email addresses and
choose Allow.
Choosing Allow enables all users to send to external
email addresses by default. An admin can enable or disable this feature for
specific users from the Accounts page, while still
retaining the global setting.
- Optional:
Enter the number of days before the package link expires.
- Optional:
Select Expire after full package download to expire the
package download link after one download. This limit applies even if the package
download link is forwarded. After the first download, the package must be resent
for a recipient to download the package again.
All your Faspex accounts can now send packages to external email addresses. You can
configure permissions for each individual user by going to
Accounts and selecting the user you want to configure. For
more information on configuring user permissions, see
Manage Faspex Users.
When a user sends to an external email address that is not associated with an
existing Faspex user, Faspex creates a new external user with that email address. To
explicitly send a package to an existing external user, add
(external) to the
email address. For example, enter
johndoe@faspex.example.com
(external).
Note: If
there are existing users with the email address, but no external users, adding
(external) to the email address to explicitly send to an external user results in
an error; Faspex cannot create a new external user with the email address if a user with the
same email address already exists.
