Send eMail
With a telegram you are able to dispatch emails from EIBPORT to several recipients simultaneously.
Please note: E-mails will be sent via the set e-mail provider. Please create a valid e-mail provider first under "System" -> "Configuration" -> "e-mail provider". See chapter "E-Mail".
For testing the network configuration you can send test e-mails via the providers 00 and 01 that have already been created. Please use this provider only to check Internet access. Please use your own e-mail provider during operation, as we cannot guarantee continuous operation with the pre-configured provider connections 00 and 01; nor that these connections are intended for it.
If you are not sure about the settings of an e-mail provider, the easiest way to test them is with one of the widely used e-mail programs (Outlook or Thunderbird).
