Configuring a Mail Server for MashZone NextGen

By default, MashZone NextGen sends notices for a variety of administrator and user actions within MashZone NextGen Hub. Users can access these notifications from the Home page. If you choose to send these notifications as email message, you must add connection configuration to the MashZone NextGen Server for your mail server.

1. Click

Admin Console in the MashZone NextGen Hub main menu.

2. In the Server section, select Mail Server.

3. Complete the connection properties:

Host = your mail server domain name or host IP address.

Port = the port number for your mail server. This defaults to 25, for SMTP.

4. Set the Requires authentication if your SMTP server requires credentials and complete these properties:

Username = the user account the MashZone NextGen Server should use to connect to your mail server.

Password = the password the MashZone NextGen Server should use to connect to your mail server.

5. If your mail server uses a secure connection, choose the protocol for Connection security:

STARTTLS = a transport layer security (TLS) that does not require a different port for the mail server.

SSL/TLS = transport layer security (TLS) using the secure socket layer (SSL).

6. Click Save mail server settings.
