E-mail

 Top  Previous  Next

When a page has been changed, WebSite-Watcher can automatically send e-mails to one or more recipients. In that section you have to enter your mail server configuration.

Server

•Smtp Server
SMTP server for outgoing e-mails.

 

•Smtp after Pop
Depended from the server configuration, a POP3 login may be required before you can send e-mails (also called SMTP-after-POP or POP-before-SMTP authentication). If this option is enabled, WebSite-Watcher will only perform a login and a logout to the POP3 server, no mails will be downloaded.

 

•Pop Server
Is only required if you use the Smtp-after-Pop feature.

 

•Connection
►Regular - Standard login without SSL/TLS
►Full SSL - Uses SSL/TLS starting with the first contact to the server. Servers with full SSL/TLS mode usually don't use the standard TCP port (25).
►Auto SSL - Uses SSL/TLS only if it is supported by the remote server.

Template

The Template section contains basic e-mail configurations such as name and mail address of the sender or recipient. To enter more than one e-mail address to the Recipient field, you have to separate them with a comma or a blank.

 

Variables:

 

The Subject and Body fields can contain variables which will be replaced with real values when e-mails are sent.Supported variables can be found in topic Send e-mails when changes are detected

Advanced

By default, WebSite-Watcher performs a bookmark check run and sends queued e-mails afterwards. That means, that checking bookmarks and sending e-mails must not share available resources.

 

With the advanced sending rules it is possible to send queued e-mails independently from bookmark check runs. With that option you have more flexibility and e-mails can be sent earlier if you have many bookmarks and a check run takes a long time.

Black list

The black list can be used to suppress sending e-mails if the page contains a pre-defined black listed text (eg. "could not connect to database").

 

Enter one phrase per line. Entries are case-insensitive. Wildcards or regular expressions are not supported.

 

Example:

database error

site under maintenance
