Configuring site email options for MAPI
Configure email options for MAPI.
About this task
Your HCL Compass user account must have the Super User privilege to configure site email options.
When you use MAPI, all
email notification messages that HCL Compass
Web sends have the From and Reply To addresses of the
domain-user email account that is configured for HCL Compass Web. The email address
UserCQWeb@MyExchangeServer
is used in the next examples.
The procedure to configure email options for MAPI varies depending on whether your deployment includes a single HCL Compass Server or multiple HCL Compass Servers. Use one of the next procedures as appropriate for your deployment.
