How to Setup E-Mail Definition Maintenance in QAD .Net UI with Unix/Linux Servers June 27, 2014

Part 1: Go to E-Mail Definition Maintenance (36.4.20, mgemmt.p).

E-Mail Definition – choose a value, such as a group, user name, etc.
Operating System – UNIX (Windows Server require a different set up).
Start Effective – 01/01/00, leave End Effective blank. (this can be set to date(s) desired)
Hit Next.
Description – choose a description for this e-mail definition.
Path and Program Name – enter the path to the e-mail program (in this example we are using mailx, using which in Linux we can determine the patch to the mailx executable as /bin/mailx).
Command Line Parameters – this is used to format the output sequence to the mail program being used, see screenshot below for settings using Linux mailx.
Start Effective – 01/01/00, leave End Effective blank. (again, this can be set to date(s) desired).
E-Mail Command – this line is automatically formatted based on the Command Line Parameters, this can be used to verify the syntax of the e-mail sequence is correct.
Click Next, a prompt will appear “Send Test E-Mail Message Now?”, click NO

Part 2: Go to User Maintenance (36.3.1, mgurmt.p), and open a desired user.

Add a valid definition to E-Mail Def (in this example it is simply called email).
Enter a valid e-mail address for the user in E-Mail Address.

Part 3: Go to Printer Setup Maintenance (36.13.2, mgmgmt05.p), now a record needs to be created for the e-mail system.

Part 4: Go to E-Mail Definition Maintenance (36.4.20, mgemmt.p).

Bring up the setup defined in Step 1.
Click Next, a prompt will appear “Send Test E-Mail Message Now?”, click YES.
This will generate a test e-mail to the recipient(s) defined with the e-mail addresses that were defined in the above steps.
