SMTP Settings

Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange allows you to send Exchange items that are located in a backup through email and deliver export reports. For that, you must configure an SMTP server which you want to use for sending emails.

To configure SMTP settings, do the following:

  1. In the main menu, click General Options.
  2. Open the SMTP Settings tab.
  3. Select the Configure SMTP settings check box and do the following:
  1. In the Server field, specify a DNS name or IP address of the SMTP server.
  2. In the Port field, specify a port number of the specified SMTP server.

The default port number is 25. If you want to use SSL data encryption, specify port 587.

  1. In the From field, specify the sender email address.
  2. If the specified SMTP server requires an authentication for outgoing mail, select the Use authentication check box and provide valid credentials.
  3. Select the Enable SSL security check box to enable SSL data encryption.
  1. Click Send to send a test email message.
  2. Click Apply.
