Email Server

Specified Email Server: Use the specified email server to send email instead of the build-in email server. For example, Gmail or Outlook SMTP server.

Built-in Email server: Use Sangfor's sender email address and Email & SMS Server. By default, the email is encrypted by SSL, and the port is port 465 for SMTPS.

Sender Address: Specify the email address the device uses to send alarm emails.

SMTP Server: Specify the Email & SMS Server's domain name or IP address corresponding to the sender's email address.

Encryption: There are three options for encryption: None, SSL, and StartTLS.

Server Port: Specify the Email & SMS Server port.

Username: You can enter the sender’s email address or username.

Password: If the sender's email address has enabled the third-party client authorization code, enter the authorization code in the field.

After you enter the email address, click Send Test Email to test whether the email can be sent.

After the test email is sent, you can log in to the test recipient address to view whether the test email is received.

1. The StartTLS email protocol command is now supported.

2. If you configure an email alarm, it will send an alarm message.

3. The built-in mail server has a daily limit, and mails will not be sent when the daily limit is reached. Therefore, it is recommended to configure a specific mail server to ensure that mail alarms can be sent on time.
