Administration: Configure notification profiles

You can configure different SMTP profiles to send emails from the system.

Notification profiles are used by all functionality introduced after Sitefinity CMS 5.0. For all features that use email setting and are developed before Sitefinity CMS 5.0, you must also configure the SMTP settings. For more information, see Administration: Configure SMTP settings.

NOTE: Using different notification profiles, you can configure more then one SMTP client.

To do this, perform the following:

1. In the main menu, click Administration » Settings » Advanced.
2. In the treeview on the left, click Notifications » Profiles » Create new » SmtpSenderProfileElement.
3. Configure the following properties:

   UseAuthentication	Select if you want to authenticate when you login to the server.
   Username and Password	Enter the credentials of the account that you use to connect to the server.
   Use SSL	Select if you want Sitefinity CMS to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt the connection.

   Optional properties:
   In order to prevent flooding of the target SMTP server, you can send notifications on batches with a pause interval between them.

   BatchSize	In BatchSize, enter the number of emails that will be send as one batch to the target server.
   BatchPauseInterval	Enter the interval in minutes in which different batches will be send to the target server. If you leave the default value of 0, the system will not send the emails in batches.
