Create Slips

Used to review the email before sending.

 

Send

Sends the email. Depending on the number of recipients to email, the size of any attachments and the speed of your Internet connection, this could take some time.

SMTP Server Settings

You may need to obtain the following information from your IT department or your Internet Service Provider (ISP)

 

E-Mail Recipient Slips - SMTP Settings

 

SMTP Mail Server

Enter the name of your SMTP (outgoing) mail server.

 

Port Number

This is the port that your computer uses for outgoing email. Typically it will be "25" but your IT department or ISP may have configured outgoing email differently.

 

Server Timeout

The number of seconds that will pass before eForms stops trying to connect with the SMTP server; the default is 100 seconds.

 

SSL Encryption

Toggles SSL encryption of the logon information. Using this option encrypts the account name and password, not the email itself. This option can only be used if your SMTP server requires SSL encryption.

 

User Name

The logon name for your SMTP mail server. In most cases this will be in the format of an email address.

 

Password

The password for your SMTP mail server; the password is case sensitive.

 

Remember Password

Check this box to allow eForms to remember the SMTP account password and avoid re-entering it each time slips are emailed. If eForms is running on an insecure system or in a publicly accessible area we recommend that you do not configure eForms to remember the password.

 

Reply Email

The email address to which delivery notifications or any recipient response will be sent.

 

Test Settings

This will test the email configuration as entered. A test email will be sent to the Reply Email entered above. If the test fails you should confirm that the information entered has been entered correctly and that your computer or network allows email to be sent from an installed application. You may have to ask your IT department or ISP to grant eForms an exception to existing firewall, security or email delivery protocols.

 

Save Settings

Email Sending Rate

 

Do not limit the email sending rate (default)

Sends email in a single batch.NOTE: To reduce spam email, many Internet Service Providers (ISP) place restrictions on how email is sent. If you encounter unexpected delivery failures you can use the settings below to adjust eForms to fit your ISP's email protocols..

 

Limit email sending to     emails per hour

eForms will send the specified number of emails in an hour then pause until the next hour before continuing to send email. Use this setting when your ISP limits the number of emails that can be sent in an hour. You also account for the normal volume of your business email when using this setting.

 

Send batches of     emails

eForms will send the specified number of emails in a single batch then pause the amount time specified in Time between batches (see below) before continuing to send email. Use this setting when your ISP limits the number of emails that can be sent in a single batch.

 

Time between batches

Specify the number of minutes for eForms to pause between email batches.
