Configure SMTP Servers to Require Authentication (Optional)

To configure your SMTP server to require authentication, you must modify the netflow.cfg file as below.

To modify the netflow.cfg file:

1. Open the netflow.cfg file in a text editor such as NotePad.
2. Locate the Notification section and modify it to look something like this:

   <notification
       mode="true"
       format="text"
       smtpService="BuiltIn::username@sbcglobal.net,password1"
       mailServer="smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com"
       sender="NETSVR2@agilepoint.com"
       sysadm="adminuser@agilepoint.com"

   Where username@sbcglobal.net is the user name provided to you by your ISP and password1 is the password provided to you by your ISP.
