    The SMTP Mail Server Configuration dialog appears.

  3. For the mail server settings, enter:
    • a default 'from' address, such as user@klocwork.com
    • the host name of your SMTP server
    • the SMTP port, if you want to use a value other than the default value shown in the field
    • the email pattern for the user's email address if you are configuring Basic access control, or if your NIS or LDAP server requires one
  4. For the security and authentication settings:
    • select a Connection Security value if your mail server uses SSL or STARTTLS
    • enter a user name and password if your SMTP server uses authentication
  5. Click Send test email to check the setup.
