Microsoft Outlook Requirements
You must have Microsoft Outlook installed on the Sterling Gentran:Server Primary System Controller. Also, due to Microsoft security changes, for Office XP and forward (including Outlook 2002 and forward), Outlook must be configured for Microsoft Exchange Server for messages to be sent automatically. In addition the primary system controller must be in the same or a trusted domain as the Microsoft Exchange Server.
Important: The use of any other configuration of Outlook will
result in messages not being sent automatically unless the Outlook
client is launched.
Note: If the E-mail back-end is Microsoft Exchange, the Sterling Gentran:Server Mailbox
service must use a domain account that has been granted access to
an Exchange mailbox. This allows the service to log on directly to
the mailbox without being prompted for a password.
