AlertMail options

Recipient Email Address

One or more destination email addresses to receive iLO email alerts. You can enter multiple email addresses separated by a semicolon. Enter the addresses in standard email address format. You can enter up to 260 characters in the Recipient Email Address box.

If you use a public or ISP SMTP server, make sure that the email addresses you enter are configured to allow less secure applications.

Sender Domain or Email Address

The sender (from) email address (up to 63 characters). This value can be formed by using the following methods:

  • Enter a sender domain to be combined with the iLO Hostname. When you use this method, the sender email address is <iLO Hostname>@<Sender Domain>.

  • Enter a custom email address that includes your internal network domain. For example, <name>@<internal domain>.com.

  • Enter a custom email address that uses a public email server. For example, <name>@<email provider>.com.

    This address must be a valid email address that is recognized by the configured SMTP server.

SMTP Port

The port the SMTP server will use for authenticated or unauthenticated SMTP connections. The default value is 25. For secure connections, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends port 587.

SMTP Server

The IP address or DNS name of the SMTP server or the mail submission agent. This server cooperates with the mail transfer agent to deliver the email. You can enter an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or an FQDN. This string can be up to 63 characters.

Enable SMTP Secure Connection (SSL/TLS)

Enable this option to send AlertMail messages over a secure connection. When a message is sent, iLO and the configured SMTP Server negotiate to select a common SSL/TLS connection.

iLO supports only explicit/opportunistic TLS SMTP servers (STARTTLS SMTP servers).

This value is enabled by default.

Enable SMTP Authentication

Enable this option to authenticate against the configured SMTP Server after connecting through a secure connection. To use this option, Enable SMTP Secure Connection (SSL/TLS) must be enabled and you must provide the user name and password for an email account on the SMTP server.

SMTP Username

The username (up to 63 characters) for an account on the configured SMTP Server. This value is required if Enable SMTP Authentication is enabled.

To clear this value, disable the Enable SMTP Authentication option, delete the text in this box, and then click Apply.

Change SMTP Password

Click this check box to enter or update and confirm the password for the SMTP Username account. This value is required if Enable SMTP Authentication is enabled, and it can be up to 63 characters long.

The password value cannot be viewed or copied from the iLO web interface.

To clear the password, disable the Enable SMTP Authentication option, apply blank password and password confirmation values, and then click Apply.
