About Input, Events & Output ...
By default, SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used when sending e-mail alerts. Compared with other mail
transfer methods, SMTP has the advantage that you will avoid automatically triggered warnings from your e-mail
client when an e-mail alert is to be sent. Such automatically triggered warnings may otherwise inform you that your e-
mail client is trying to automatically send e-mail messages on your behalf.

Recipient(s)

If specifying more than one e-mail address, separate the e-mail addresses with semicolons (example:
[email protected];[email protected];[email protected]).
Note:
If e-mail alerts are enabled for the
Viewer
, the content you specify in the
Recipient(s)
field will appear
as the default value in the
Viewer
's dialog for sending evidence via e-mail. Users will be able to overwrite this
default value.
