Sending E-Mails

We provide a pre-configured SMTP Server with your Installation so you could start sending mails right away with you EgoSecure Data Protection SaaS solution. You can change this configuration at any time and replace it with your own SMTP Server if available from the internet.

We recommend to change the pre-configured SMTP Server to your own when you are using EgoSecure Data Protection SaaS productively. With the default SMTP Server provided by Matrix42 you cannot change the Sender E-Mail address which must end with @m42cloud.com, otherwise E-Mails will be rejected. You are also not able to change SMTP related settings or will be able to see logs, activity etc.
