MailServer

To enable emailing for ACEweb, enter the SMTP mail server address.

If the mail server is hosted on your institution’s network, it must be configured to allow Relaying from your ACEweb server.

Disable .NET

Some customers cannot use the .NET emailing module, but need the wwDotNetBridge.dll for their payment service. To disable the .NET email module, add the MAILMODE parameter with the appropriate setting to the end of the MailServer setting.

Setting Options:

0=enables the .NET Email Module 2=disables the .NET Email Module

The MAILMODE parameter is entered after the SMTP server address in UPPERCASE, separated with a comma and no space between the comma and the MAILMODE setting.

E.g. MailServer=smtp.youruniversity.edu,MAILMODE:2

External Mail Server

Alternately, you may use an external mail server such as gMail, with the appropriate authentication credentials.

WARNING

External mail servers require the .NET mailing option so you cannot disable .NET.

For en external Mail Server, you enter the SMTP server address, a colon then the SSL port (usually 587 or 465), and the SSL designation, e.g.

smtp.gmail.com:587,SSL (SSL must be in all caps, no space after the comma)

Since this option requires authentication, you must also set the AuthenticateSendmail INI setting to On and enter the Username and Password to be used for emailing in Student Manager's Email Settings tool.

Slow System

In some systems that experience slow communication with the SMTP server, you may need to set a MailLag and MailTimeout in the awSys.ini.

• MailLag - seconds to wait between sending email confirmation and transaction notice to email server, e.g. with MailLag=2, ACEweb will wait 2 seconds after sending the email confirmation to send transaction notices.

• MailTimeout - seconds to wait for response from the SMTP server, e.g. with MailTimeout=45, ACEweb would wait 45 seconds for a response from the SMTP server before timing out.
