Send email notifications
This option activates email notification. Deactivating keeps all settings. It is recommended to deactivate email notification while setting up and testing a new partner connection.
Email account settings
SMTP-Server
SMTP server address of the mail server which should be used to send email notifications.
Connection security
Specify the type of connection security. The following settings are available:
no security - Connect to the server without any security enabled.
SSL/TLS - Connect to the server using SSL/TLS.
STARTTLS - Connect to the server without security enabled and switch to SSL/TLS, if supported by the server.
Certificates used for secure SMTP connections
!MC5 uses only those root and CA certificates located in !MC5s default certificate storage and !MC5s user storage. No certificates from TSLs will be used, as email notifications might already get sent before TSLs are loaded. If a secure SMTP connection fails due to missing certificates add those to the user store (Settings / !MC5 / Security / Certificates).
Port
SMTP server port (usually port 25).
Server requires login
Internal SMTP servers often don't require extra authentication. In such a case deactivate this option.
Username, Password
SMTP username and password, if needed by the server.
Login method
Select method to login to SMTP server:
•<automatic> - !MC5 and the SMTP server negotiate the method to be used automatically.
•CRAM-MD5 - Use Challenge-Response Authentication Mechanism, Message Digest 5 (CRAM-MD5).
•DIGEST-MD5 - Use digest access authentication.
•NTLM - Use NT LAN Manager authentication.

Email address that is to be used as sender for error notifications.
To
Email address error notification will be sent to.
Send test email

Send notifications on...
Here you can define for which events !MC5 should send a notification by email. Depending on the licensed modules, different categories and notifications are available.
General
Notifications about general events, such as available updates or license issues.
File Processing
Notifications about errors during file processing. This includes errors during import or export of EDI files but also errors during pre- or post-processing of files received via OFTP, e.g. if the encryption or decryption of the data fails.
File transfer
Notifications of errors during file transfer. These only concern errors when sending or receiving individual files, e.g. if files were rejected by the other party or received data could not be saved locally.
Network
Notifications about network errors. These include network errors during connection establishment and data transmission. This includes ISDN, TCP and TLS errors that are independent of the higher-level transmission protocol used (OFTP, SFTP, AS2, etc.).
Protocol-specific
Notifications of errors that are specific to a transmission protocol, for example, errors during secure OFTP authentication or during SFTP logon.
