Because we had a few questions about messaging functions of the ProfiLux3, here is a little checklist for all interested users to get mail-sending-function running without stress:
1. Add new Message in ProfiLux (E-Mail-Notification ProfiLux)
2. Add subject, content and recipient (is a must!)
3. Select sending condition
4. Select domain-SMTP-mailsending-server (only in special cases use IP-SMTP)
5. Put in the SMTP-server-domainname of your favourite provider (IMPORTANT: Put in SMTP-server, not POP3 or IMAP)
6. Check if port is correct (Should be port 25, but can be different at some providers)
7. Complete realname and mailadress of your account
8. Check if your provider needs authentification (in most cases YES!)
9. Add username and password (Case sensitive - please check again!)
10. Send Testmail...
Important:
- SSL-encoding is not supported. So please don`t use those providers: Hotmail, Live.de/at/ch, Gmail
- Your mail may be on its way for several minutes, this does not depend alone on the ProfiLux computer, but is depending from the routing of your provider and the used mailservers in between you and your recipient.
- The WLAN card for ProfiLux (PLM-WLAN) is no replace for an ethernet connection. Please use a WLAN bridge if you need wireless Ethernet. (Mail+Webserver) This can easyly be connected to your ProfiLux.
What to do if mail sending fails?
- Please check if your provider only lets you send mails encoded. (please see above)
- Check the functionality of your webserver (test http-Server, test ntp-Server, test ping)
- Check if your router is blocking connections (Firewall?)
- Try another mail provider to be sure
