Email (SMTP)#
i-doit is capable of sending e-mails automatically in the case of specific events or states.
Controller
The configuration is essential when the i-doit controller (CLI) is used with the notifications or workflows. Otherwise no e-mails can be sent!
The integration of a mail server is possible in the Administration under System settings. A configuration mask with the following fields is available there:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| SMTP Host | Name of the host or the IP address of the mail server. |
| SMTP Port | 25 is the standard port. The port has to be changed accordingly for an encrypted connection or deviating configuration. |
| Sender | Sending e-mail address for e-mail dispatch |
| Name | Sender name for e-mail dispatch |
| Timeout | Timeout for e-mail dispatch |
| SMTP Debug | It is often helpful to activate the debugging function for the initial setup. The log is deposited in the log/ folder of the i-doit main folder. (default: No) |
| Subject Präfix | Optional entry for a better support of automation based on e-mail client rules. |
| Notification template for maintenance contract | This template was used in a previous version and is not needed anymore in the current i-doit versions. In current versions, this template can be configured in the Notifications system in the Extras section. |
| Notification template for lost password | An artifact from an earlier version lacking any function, can be ignored. |
