Syntax -

SetStartup SMTPUsername <Username>

Where:

<Username> is a literal string.

Description:

This option, usually used with the SMTPPassword setting, defines that username to be used for authentication with the SMTP server. To send email, EMUE must be configured (via the SMTPServer setting) to relay mail through an email server. Usually, this email server also needs to be configured to allow EMUE to relay mail.Typically, this done one of two ways.

1.	By assigning a static IP address to the EMUE PC, and then configuring the email server to allow that IP address to relay email.

2.	By providing permission for an account (identified by the SMTPUsername and SMTPPassword settings) to relay mail.

Please note – many SMTP Servers do not use encryption for sending email, including the transmission of names and passwords. To avoid exposing sensitive authentication credentials, it a best practice to NOT use a regular user’s account information, but instead for a mail administrator to create a special account for the purpose of allowing EMUE to authenticate.

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"
