Setting Up Library email Information

You must store your library’s email information in Horizon before you can automatically send email notices.

To set up library email information

1 Open the email_param view in the Table Editor.

Horizon opens the List E-mail Parameters window.

2 Choose the email parameters you want to edit.

Horizon opens the Edit E-mail Parameters window:

3 Complete or update these fields:

Field

Action

Flat File Only

If you want to create your own email messages with third-party software instead of letting Horizon generate them automatically, mark this box.

(For more information, see Using Notice Tables and Understanding Horizon’s email Flat-File Structure .)

Note: If you choose this option, you do not need to enter SMTP server information.

SMTP Host

Enter the address of your SMTP server.

SMTP Port

Enter the port that your SMTP server uses.

SMTP user ID

Enter the user ID of the staff member who can access the SMTP server.

SMTP Password

Enter the password of the staff member who can access the SMTP server.

From E-mail address

Enter the default email address that you want to use as the “from” address.

Reply to E-mail

Enter the default email address where you want to receive email replies.

BCC address

If you always want to send a blind copy of the email messages that your library sends, enter the default email address that should receive the copy.

Subject

Enter the default subject line that you want to use for all email sent from this library.

Security

Indicates the basis on which to send emails using Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. Choose one of the following options:

TLS Required – Horizon must always send emails with TLS encryption. If the connection of Horizon to TLS fails, Horizon does not send the email.
TLS if Available – Horizon always attempts to send emails using TLS encryption, but if the connection of Horizon to TLS fails, Horizon sends the email without TLS encryption.

Important: Your library site must have TLS version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 installed on your system's SMTP server to send emails using TLS encryption.

4 Save your changes.
