A test e-mail is immediately sent to the e-mail address you entered and your mail server is active.

Please note that gmail accounts do not work with the mail server!

With other email providers, you may have to activate the option in your email account first in order to send emails from your own account. You can find out how to do this from your email provider or on the Internet.

 

If the activation was successful, you can now send the reports to your customers via your own mail server.
