Notes

• Your SMTP server must support the LOGIN authentication to supply a username and password. If your server supports a different authentication method or does not support authentication, you may need to add the Double-Take Availability server as an authorized host for relaying e-mail messages. This option is not necessary if you are sending exclusively to e-mail addresses that the SMTP server is responsible for.
• You must have an active source specified for any e-mail command to work properly.
• Options, except for IP addresses, that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
