Configuration Requirements
The E-mail Setup Wizard attempts to populate the following settings based solely on the e-mail address you have provided.
- SMTP Server address
- SMTP Port
- Use SSL/TLS or Anonymous
- Authentication settings
Note: Lexmark cannot guarantee that this function works in every instance since E-mail Service Providers (ESPs) occasionally change their configuration requirements without notice. Lexmark is not responsible for obtaining these values.
