HCP System Management Help
The SMTP panel has three sections for enabling and configuring the SMTP protocol.
Settings section
To enable the SMTP protocol, in the Settings section:
1.Select the Enable SMTP option.
2.Click on the Update Settings button in the Settings section.
Allow/Deny section
Optionally, in the Allow/Deny section, specify IP addresses of email servers to be allowed or denied access to the namespace through SMTP. For instructions on doing this, see Adding and removing entries in Allow and Deny lists.
For information on how HCP handles IP addresses that appear in both or neither of the Allow and Deny lists, see Allow and Deny list handling.
Emails section
To set options specific to email objects:
1.Click on Emails.
2.In the Emails section:
oIn the Email Location field, type the path for the directory in which you want email objects stored. This is the full path starting after the root directory (that is, rest or data). Be sure to start and end the path with a forward slash
(/), like this:
/email/company_all/
If any part of the specified directory path doesn’t exist, HCP creates it.
For information on the complete path and object names for email added to the namespace through SMTP, see Using a Namespace.
oIn the Format field, select either .eml or .mbox. The one you choose depends on the application you use to read the stored email.
oTo store email attachments separately from the emails they’re attached to, select the Separate attachments from parent email option. For more information on storing email attachments, see SMTP protocol configuration.

Important: Storing attachments separately from the email they accompany can have a significant impact on performance and storage space. Unless you have a specific reason to do so, do not enable this option. |
3.Click on the Update Settings button in the Emails section.
