Enter the password associated with the user configured in “Username”. 

Maximum size of password is 64 characters.

Choose the type of encryption desired. Valid options are;
None - All information is sent in the clear.
SSL - Select this if your email server requires SSL.
TLS - Select this if your email server requires TLS

When checked this will enable the validation of the certificate presented by the 
email server. To validate the certificate, you will need to download the 

appropriate CA list into the IOLAN. If the certificate is not found to be valid, 

the communication with the email server will be terminated. No authentication 
will take place and the email message will not be forwarded to the email 

server. If this option is not checked, the certificate validation will still be 

attempted but if it fails, a syslog message will be generated but the 
authentication and forwarding of the email will still take place.
Default: Enabled if SSL or TLS encryption is selected. Disabled if no 

encryption is selected.

This is the TCP port used to communicate with the email server. 
Default: 25 for non-SSL, 465 if SSL/TLS is used 

This field is only used if SPA authentication is performed with the email 

server. It may or may not be required. If the email server does not expect this 
field, it can be left blank.
