Use Policy Editor to perform the following tasks:
Ensure each event destination computer in your Change Guardian environment hosts an email server. Then you can add each email server to Change Guardian. Change Guardian can send email notifications to specified administrators and operators.
You can also configure email servers by using the Change Guardian command prompt.
In the Policy Editor, select Settings > Email Configuration.
Under Email Servers, click Add.
Specify the name and description of the email server you want to add.
Specify values for the following fields:
SMTP Host: The fully qualified domain name of the email server computer.
SMTP Port: The remote SMTP port to use when communicating with the email server.
Secure: Specifies whether the connection to the SMTP computer must be a secure connection. If Yes, specify the protocol type. If you select No, the SMTP Port is set to 25 by default.

User Name: The user name to use when connecting to the SMTP server.

For each email server you add to Change Guardian, you must create one or more notification groups specific to that email server. A notification group specifies one or more recipients of the email alerts and contains change event information. When you assign email alerts to events (using the ADMINISTRATION tab in the web console), you can choose from the notification groups available for that email server. For more information, see Creating Event Routing Rules.
