Setting up mail and notifications
Last updated
The Mail and Notifications section in MikoPBX allows you to configure sending system notifications via email. Here, administrators specify SMTP server parameters, define notification events such as voice messages or system errors, and edit email templates. This section helps to promptly inform users and administrators about important events, ensuring effective control over the system.
To receive notifications about missed calls and voicemail messages by email, you need to configure the SMTP client. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used to send e-mail over the Internet. SMTP clients interact with an SMTP server that sends email.
SMTP host - address of the mail server
SMTP port - the port of the mail server
SMTP login, SMTP password - authorization parameters
Sender's address - Emails will be sent on behalf of this address Email of the system administrator - all system notifications will be sent to this email address, for example, about the lack of disk space. When changing and saving the settings, a test email will be sent to this address
Use TLS - activates the use of encryption when connecting to the server, to connect via SSL, you need to add a protocol description to the server address
Validate server certificate - in some cases it is necessary to disable it when using self-signed certificates
Use mail motifications - allows you to enable/disable all email alerts, including voice mail
If the server supports a secure connection only over SSL, then you can explicitly specify the protocol in the "SMTP host" field, for example:

VM_DATE - date and time
VM_CALLERID - caller's callerid, consists of name and num, example "Alex Magnet" <101>
VM_DUR - message duration
VM_CALLER_NAME - caller's name (taken from VM_CALLERID)
VM_CALLER_NUM - caller's phone number (taken from VM_CALLERID)
