Alerts and Notifications

Hello,
In Advanced Settings in Tools, Alerts and Notifications there is the option to send alerts to someone by email.

I set this up for one person and it works fine. I set it up for another and the alerts do not go out.

I think it is port number that is an issue. Can someone tell me what port is used by default and how to change to another port.

The port I need to use is 587.

Thanks

 

I think you should be able to specify the smtp port by putting : after the server name followed by the port number.

 

Thanks Marcos,

Just wanted to let you and everyone else that reads this know that your suggestion worked.

This is a new one on me, Marcos - would you care to elaborate, please ?

Regards,

 

As written in the help file for that update setup dialog, an example of port specification would be:
http://computer_name_or_its_IP_address:2221

 

Thanks, Marcos - this is a little beyond my depth, I will do my homework.

Regards,
