Configuring mail servers

Build uses an external mail server to route messages through SMTP.

Configure a user account on the server so that emails can be sent from an address similar to build@mycompany.com. You must have administrative permissions to configure mail servers.
  1. On the left navigational panel, click System > Mail Server in the Notifications area.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Type a name for the mail server in the Name field.
  4. Type the host name for the mail server in the Mail Host field.
    The IP address or network name that can be resolved from the Build server.
  5. Enter the port number for the mail server in the Mail Port field.
    The default value is 25.
  6. Enter the sender's email address in the Sender field.
    This value appears in the email From header.
  7. Enter the user name in the User Name field.
    This name is authenticated by the SMTP server. It is the name that is used to log on to the SMTP server.
    Note: Some email servers and firewalls consider emails with different sender and user names as suspicious. If this problem occurs, use the same name in both fields.
  8. Enter the password that is associated with the user name in the Password field.
  9. Optional: To use TLS, select Use TLS if available.
  10. Click Done.
