Managing SMTP servers

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. SMTP is the de facto standard for e-mail transmissions across the Internet. This will allow you to e-mail your reports to mail recipients without the need for an existing mail client.

To manage the list of SMTP servers:

•         Click the Tools button from the standard toolbar.

•         The list manager will appear.

To create a new SMTP server:

•         Click the SMTP Server tab from the list manager.

•         Click the New button from the list manager (See Working with SMTP Servers).

To modify an existing SMTP server:

•         Click the SMTP Server tab from the list manager.

•         Highlight the SMTP server you want to modify.

•         Click the Edit button from the list manager (See Working with SMTP Servers).

To delete an existing SMTP server:

•         Click the SMTP Server tab from the list manager.

•         Highlight the SMTP server you want to delete.

•         Click the Delete button from the list manager.

•         Click Yes when the confirmation dialog box appears. The SMTP server will be permanently removed from ViewerFX for Crystal Reports.

Note: This action is unrecoverable. The only way to retrieve a deleted SMTP server is to restore a backup copy of the ViewerFX for Crystal Reports database.
