Mail Server
Chapter 7 Administrative Basics 259
Mail Server
The notifications and jobs features use the mail server set up in the CMS instance to
send its notification messages. You set up a mail server using the following
procedure:
1.
In the CMS window, select the Configuration tab, and then in the right pane,
select the SMTP tab.
2.
Identify the mail server by providing the following details:
Server name. Type the fully qualified DNS host name of the machine on which
your mail server is installed. The format for the host name is as follows:
<machine_name>.<your_domain>.<domain>
By default, the host name of the mail server is shown as
localhost
instead of
the actual host name (for example,
mail.example.com
).
Port number. Type the port number on which the mail server is listening for
requests.
3.
Click Save.
Configuration Files
The runtime properties of CMS are governed by a set of configuration parameters.
These parameters are stored in a file that is read by the server during startup.
When you install CMS, the installer creates an ASCII file, named
CMS.cfg
, and
populates it with the appropriate configuration parameters. You can control the
way CMS functions by making the appropriate changes in the CMS console, which
is the recommended method for making configuration changes. The changes you
make in the CMS console are reflected in the configuration file. You can also make
changes directly to the configuration file, but unless specifically instructed to do so
in this documentation, this is not recommended.
Locating the Configuration File
Each instance of CMS has its own configuration file,
CMS.cfg
. The file for the
subsystem is different depending on your installation choices, and on which
subsystem is installed in that instance.
The
CMS.cfg
file is located in the following directory:
