SMTP server configuration

To configure the SMTP server that will be used to send the test message in the first step of the email round-trip test you should select at least the host and the port of your mail server and a test email address to send the messages to. Optionally you can add a different email address for the "From" headers of the test messages that will be sent by our monitoring agent and choose whether to PING the SMTP server on every test.
