System > Mail (example settings)
On the Mail page, administrators can configure SMTP settings for sending an email via the
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) when an alarm is triggered. SMTP is a protocol for
exchanging email messages between servers. SMTP is a relatively simple, text-based protocol,
where one or more recipients of a message are specified and the message text is transferred.
