(2) Creating an email environment definition file and setting up the email notification function (Windows only)

To customize the settings of the email notification function, you need to set up the email environment definition file. This manual describes how to specify the settings required for connecting the mail server by using SMTP-AUTH authentication.

Prerequisites

The following conditions must be satisfied:

• A mail server that supports SMTP-AUTH authentication is provided in advance.

• The mail server has an IPv4 IP address.

• The OS user who will execute the jimmailpasswd command has Administrator permissions.

Procedure

1. Use a text editor to open the email environment definition file.

   Console-path\conf\mail\jimmail.conf

2. In the email environment definition file, specify the following items:

   • From

     From=jp1_xxx@yyy.jp

   • SmtpServer

     SmtpServer=host-name-or-IP-address-of-the-SMTP-server

   • AuthMethod

     AuthMethod=SMTP

   • AuthUser

     AuthUser=authentication-account-name

3. Execute the following jimmailpasswd command to set the authentication password:

   "Console-path\bin\jimmailpasswd" -p authentication-password

4. Set up the communication environment.

   • Name resolution for the mail server host

     Set up the jp1hosts, jp1hosts2, and hosts files and DNS so that the SMTP server name and POP3 server name can be resolved.

   • Firewall settings

     Set up a firewall to allow SMTP/POP3 communication between the jimmail command and the mail server.
