Application settings… - Email

The Boomerang system uses emails to send different types of messages, like warnings, alarms or reports to system users.

The ‘Email’ form is used to define SMTP email server account settings that is used for this purpose.

Setup/Change email settings

The “Reply address” is a sender’s address in the email sent by Boomerang. As there is no recipient on Boomerang side it shall be set to any non-existing but valid email address like e.g. [email protected].

The “Subject” is placed in a subject field in the email sent by Boomerang.

The “Message header” is the first row text of the email sent by Boomerang.

The “SMTP server” and “Port number” must be set accordingly to SMTP mail server settings.
