Email Notifications from Specific Accounts
------------------------------------------
Hi All,
I have seen many cases where people wanted to get alerts and mails from their existing accounts/ new security account they have configured for SEP.
The default email delivery or alerts comes from SYSTEM.Some times these gets rejected by mail servers if rules are defined.
So how can we change the from address from default SYSTEM TO something else May be securityadmin@yourdomain.com
for any alerts or email we first need to configure mail severs.
For newbie's
1)Login to Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.
2)Click on Admin tab.
3)Select the Management Server for which you wish to configure the mail server and go to Properties.
4)Click on Mail Server tab.
5)Enter the IP address of your Mail server.
6)Enter the credentials for the Mail server (Local Administrator credentials would be preferable).
User: Administraor (If this text box is left blank, SYSTEM@computer name sends the notifications.
)
Password:xxxxxxxxxx
If you have configured your mail server as mentioned above then you would receive all your mails from SYSTEM.So how we change it.
If you want to configure administrator email notifications, you should use the format user@domain in this text box.
here is the simple step to change we should add your domin in step 6
User:Administrator@yourdomain.com
password:xxxxxxxx
after this configuration you will start getting mails from Administrator@yourdomain.com( Administator should be a valid account)
you can create a new account in AD , say like SEPAlerts! you can use your imagination for that.
Hope this helps...
