DPE 3.10, email w/secure server

[Dave Overbeck]

Hello,

We are using Data Protector Express 3.10-sp1a, and have just switched to an email gateway which requires a login to send mail. DPE does not have settings for this in the email server configuration. In looking at the release notes for v3.5, I don't see any mention of it either, but I only see notes for v3.5, so perhaps it was added in an intervening version. Does DPE currently support this feature?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Data Protector Express (3.1 or 3.5) uses SMTP for mail which does not require a login but rather talks to the mail server on a specific port (25 is the default).

Would the new mail mail server allow SMTP access on a diferent, more secure port, perhaps?

Well,

For some reason it's working (we're receiving the log email), even without authentication. I don't really understand how, because the server is supposed to require it. It still uses port 25, there's just a longer conversation with a username and password before you can start sending headers.

Anyway, thanks for responding!

Dave
