Syntax -

SetStartup SMTPPassword <Password>

Where:

<Password> is a literal string.

Description:

This option defines the password to be used for authentication with the SMTP server defined by the SMTPServer setting. Using authentication can prevent the need for a static IP address when relaying email.

Password Encryption:

The password can be encrypted by choosing Encrypt Password In File from the tools menu. The encrypted password will be placed between <encrypted> tags to distinguish between the plaintext password and the encrypted password.

You can also highlight the text you want to encrypt and choose Encrypt Selected Text from either the Edit menu or from right clicking inside the editor.

Note: By default, EMUE enables encrypted communication with your SMTP email server, if that server supports TLS or SSL encryption (for the specified port). This encryption only encrypts the communication directly with the email server, and provides no protection beyond that point. Generally, email is not considered a secure form of communication, especially when emails are directed to parties external to your network via the internet. As a result, you must use caution when sending emails via EMUE to ensure that any email that may be routed outside of your organization does not contain any PHI.

Sample:

SetStartUp SMTPServer "mail.hospital.org"

SetStartup SMTPUsername "IT425"

SetStartup SMTPPassword "popsicle71"

SetStartUp EmailFrom "emue@hospital.org"

SetStartup SuccessEmail "emueguru@hospital.org"
