Configuring Email Settings / Configuring Mailbox Settings |
Define settiings and security for outgoing mail.
Values set in this screen take precedence over any outgoing mail properties you might have set previously. Outgoing mail can include any of these types of messages:
Alerts that the Vocera Voice Server automatically sends to notify you of significant system events.
Voice messages that badge users can send as email attachments. The Vocera Voice Server saves the voice message as a .WAV file and attaches it to a text email message containing instructions on how the recipient can reply to the message.
Conventional email messages, sent from outside the Vocera system and intended for badge users, but with invalid recipients. If an incoming email specifies an invalid Vocera user ID or group name, the Vocera Voice Server uses the outgoing mail settings to send the email to the address specified in the Alert Recipient Email Address field. If you do not specify this value, the Vocera Voice Server uses the outgoing mail settings to return the message to the sender.
