You can specify email notification settings for automated delivery of job results. To connect an SMTP server that will be used for sending email notifications:
- From the main menu of the Veeam Backup & Replication console, select Options.
- Switch to the E-mail Settings tab.
- Select the Enable e-mail notifications check box.
- Configure mail server settings.
- In the From field, enter an email address of the notification sender. This email address will be displayed in the From field of notifications.
- In the To field, enter an email address of a recipient. Use a semicolon to separate multiple recipient addresses.
- In the Subject field, specify a subject for notifications. You can use the following runtime variables:
- %JobName% — a job name.
- %JobResult% — a job result.
- %ObjectCount% — the number of VMs in a job.
- Choose whether you want to receive email notifications in case jobs complete successfully, complete with warnings or complete with errors.
- Select the Suppress notifications until the last job retry check box to receive a notification about the final job status. If you do not select this check box, the Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV will send one notification for every job retry.
- Click Apply.
Tip |
Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV allows you to send a test message to check whether you have configured the settings correctly. To do that, click Test Message. A test message will be sent to the specified email address. |

- In the Port field, specify a communication port for SMTP traffic. The default SMTP port is 587.
- In the Timeout field, specify a connection timeout for responses from the SMTP server.
