Email Configuration

Use the Email Configuration to maintain SMTP email server information that is required for sending email from EDIFICE.  The email configurations must be set up to activate email functions in EDIFICE.  You can create multiple configurations and specify information such as the default From and To email addresses as well as including multiple default CC and BCC addresses.
