Automatically Sending Content to Multiple People at Once
You can send content to multiple people at once using an email distribution active folder. You can
configure a
Share as an Email Active Folder so that when you add files to that Share, they are
automatically sent to the recipients on the email distribution list. To configure a Share as an Email Active
Folder, access the Shares feature from the px4-400d device management console, select or create a
Share, and expand the Active Folders section to enable and configure email distribution.
How to Set Up an Email Distribution Active Folder
Email Distribution lets you email your files to friends and family directly from your px4-400d
device management console. Use Email Distribution to share files with an email list. To prevent
email distribution list spamming, the px4-400d allows lists of 250 or fewer email recipients and
sends a maximum of six emails in a 24-hour period.
Refer to Managing Shares for more information on managing Shares and Active Folders.
