The Avira Update Manager can send information about completed repository updates by
email. This is how you can configure it:
email. This is how you can configure it:
The SMTP server used for sending the emails:
<smtp_server value="smtp_server.tld"/>
The sender and the recipient of the notification email can be configured by editing the
following parameters:
following parameters:
<smtp_from value="AVIUM@your_domain.tld"/>
<smtp_to value="AUM_Admin@your_domain.tld"/>
By default, if enabled, the email notifications are sent only when errors occur:
<smtp_level value="error"/>
To receive email notifications for warnings and errors, modify the smtp_level
value to
warning:
<smtp_level value="warning"/>
To receive email notifications after successful updates, for warnings and errors, modify the
smtp_level
value to info:
<smtp_level value="info"/>
Authentication on the SMTP server is disabled as the default setting:
<smtp_login_required value="false"/>
Change the parameter to
<smtp_login_required value="true"/>
to enable it.
It is therefore recommended to set only the user name in the ium.conf file
<smtp_login value=""/>
leaving the parameter for the password unchanged
Note
SMTP authentication can only be fully configured via the AUM Frontend,
because the application encrypts the password, and plaintext cannot be used.
