Mail Server (SMTP) Settings

This section contains the configuration required for the SMTP server that enables the Grizzle ZT-PAM system to send email notifications.
The system uses this mail server to deliver notifications related to password changes, session alerts, user invitations, or error messages.


General Information

Email notifications cannot be sent by the system until these settings are properly configured.


Field Descriptions

FieldDescription
SMTP ServerThe IP address or domain name of the mail server (e.g., 10.0.1.10 or mail.grizzletech.com).
PortThe SMTP connection port. The default is 25; if TLS is enabled, ports 587 or 465 are commonly used.
Sender UsernameThe sender’s email address used by the system to send messages (e.g., sender@grizzletech.com).
Sender Display NameThe display name that appears as the sender to recipients (e.g., Grizzle ZT-PAM Server).
Receiver (Optional)An optional recipient email address used for testing or specific log notifications.

Security and Connection Options

At the bottom of the form, there are three key connection configuration options:

OptionDescription
AuthEnable this option if the SMTP server requires authentication. In this case, username and password fields become mandatory.
TLSEnables Transport Layer Security (TLS) for secure communication. Emails will be sent over an encrypted connection.
RelayAllows the server to act as a direct relay. This is typically used within internal or trusted networks.

💡 When TLS is enabled, it is recommended to update the port to a suitable value (587 or 465).


Test Connection

The TEST CONNECTION button at the bottom of the form verifies whether the SMTP configuration is valid.
When executed, the system sends a test email to the specified recipient and displays the success or failure status on screen.
