Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery 19.16 Product Guide

Configure mail settings

After you have configured an email server in the Cyber Recovery vault, enable mail server support to route and deliver Cyber Recovery email notifications to Cyber Recovery users, and set restricted domains for email addresses for users and the reporting feature.

1. From the Masthead Navigation, click to access the System Settings list.
2. Click Support > Mail Settings.
3. Under Activate Mail Support, swipe right on the slider to enable sending email notifications.
   If this option is disabled, you cannot modify the mail server configuration.

   NOTE:When you update to Cyber Recovery version 19.16 and later, the procedure checks if you are using an external mail service or Postfix. If neither is being used, then the email option is disabled by default.
   The pane opens to display more options to activate mail support.
4. Under Mail Server Settings, swipe right on the slider to enable TLS, if necessary.
   NOTE:When you install the Cyber Recovery software, TLS is enabled by default.

   If you enable TLS for a relay server from the Cyber Recovery environment, only the inbound communication to the relay server is encrypted. To configure end-to-end encryption, ensure that you enable TLS for outbound connections from the relay server. For information about how to view message headers to verify TLS encryption, see Verifying TLS encryption.

5. Enter or modify the values in the following fields:

   3. To delete a domain, click the X next to the domain name.
   4. Click Save.
