Specify a Mail Server

The Meridian application server can be linked to an SMTP server. The SMTP server will be used to deliver workflow status messages, subscription notification messages, and to deliver documents sent via email from PowerUser. The mail server can reside inside or outside of your corporate domain.

For information on configuring when notification messages are sent, see the Accruent Meridian Enterprise Configuration Guide.
