Configuring the Mail Notifier service

Kaspersky MLAD uses the Mail Notifier service to notify users when incidents are registered by the application.

System administrators can configure the Mail Notifier service.

Setting up Mail Notifier is optional and only required for receiving email notifications about new registered incidents. First, you need to configure an SMTP server on the network where the monitored object is located.

To configure the Mail Notifier service:

  1. In the lower-left corner of the window, click An icon in the form of two horizontal equalizer sliders..

    You will be taken to the administrator menu.

  2. Select System parameters → Mail Notifier.

    A list of options appears on the right.

  3. In the Notification sender email field, specify the email address that will send incident notifications.
  4. In the SMTP server address field, enter the IP address of the SMTP server.
  5. In the SMTP server port field, enter the port of the SMTP server.
  6. In the SMTP server user name field, enter the user name for connecting to the SMTP server.
  7. In the SMTP server password field, enter the password for connecting to the SMTP server.
  8. Use the Use TLS connection toggle switch to enable or disable secure TLS connection.

    By default, use of a secure TLS connection is disabled.

    1. Upload the SMTP server certificate using the Browse button under SMTP server certificate.
    2. Upload the key to the SMTP server certificate file using the Browse button under the Key to SMTP server certificate setting.

    It is recommended to use a certificate with a certificate key length of 4096 bits when using the RSA algorithm, or 256 bits when using the ECDH algorithm.
    Certificates and certificate keys can be uploaded only as files in DER or PEM format.

    To delete the certificate file or certificate key, click the A basket icon. button in the corresponding field. To save the certificate file or certificate key on your computer, click the An icon in the form of an arrow pointing into a tray. button in the corresponding field.
