    • Specify the SMTP server address.
    • Specify the email address from which the reports will be sent in the From box (if using a different email address than the user running the tasks it must be an alias).
    • If you need to provide a port, SSL encryption, or authentication information, check the Use advanced options box.
    • Leave the Port setting blank to use the default SMTP port. The default port is 25.
    • Specify your user name and password.
