Calcium Documentation - Email Administration
Calcium System Administrators can customize email settings. From the
System Administration page, follow the Email Settings link to view or
modify these settings:
- SMTP host - this is the DNS name or IP address of the
machine to use to send mail. If you leave it blank (recommended),
the same machine that Calcium is running on is used.
- From address - what to put in the "From:" field for all
email sent from Calcium
- Signature text - any text specified here will be appended
to every message sent from Calcium.
You can also manage Email Aliases from this page. An alias can be used
to save typing; if you frequently specify a list of addresses for
Notification when creating events, it's easier to simply type, for
example
Bears
than it is to type
brown@brownbearsoftware.com, black@brownbearsoftware.com,
polar@brownbearsoftware.com, spectacled@brownbearsoftware.com
To create a new alias, enter the alias and the list of addresses.
Each address in the list should be separated by a comma. Press the
"Add/Modify/Delete" button to add the alias.
To modify an existing alias, simply make your changes, and press the
same button. You can delete an alias by selecting the "Delete?"
checkbox, and saving.
Finally, there's a section at the bottom of this page to test your
settings. After making and saving your settings, you can enter an email
address (or a defined alias) and try sending a test message. The
mail will be sent, and a message will inform you of any errors.
