Tip:
It is not always necessary to configure a
SMTP Server in order to send e-mails. The
Poseidon can work as SMTP server itself and deliver the e-
mails directly to the user’s mailbox.
However, always test this mode in your particular environment
– the e-mails sent in this mode
are often blocked by various spam filters due to missing reverse MX records.
Poseidon can only send e-mails, it cannot receive them!
Received e-mail example:
E-mail is sent upon every alarm activation and deactivation.
