roundtrip email setup

Votes:

0

Hi,

A newbiw question but after reading the help I am none the wiser...

I am trying to setup a roundtrip email monitor and I am failing on setting up the SMTP account details to send the test email.

I was expecting to see an SMTP server address field where I could put in mail.chrisbrown.co.uk - but all I can see is an Helo Ident field and I have no clue what to put into this.

Could someone please advise me what I need to put into this field in order to direct the monitor to that address.

Cheers,

Chris.

PRTG's sensors usually use the DNS name/IP address entry of the device they're created on. This is also true for the Roundtrip sensor: As SMTP server, the sensor uses the IP address/DNS name value of the device it is added on.

For more details, please see SMTP&POP3 Round Trip Sensor or SMTP&IMAP Round Trip Sensor.
