SMTP Server Required for Email
To deliver and route emails, an SMTP server is required. The district is responsible for setting up its own SMTP server unless the district is hosted in an Infinite Campus data center.
For information on configuring an SMTP server with Campus, please refer to the Email Settings article.
Configuring Email Preferences
PATH: System Administration > Preferences > Messenger
The following Messenger Preferences should be configured for the purpose of email messaging:
- Prompt Preferences (Email Format editor)
- Email Settings
Reviewing the Task Scheduler
PATH: System Administration > Preferences > Task Scheduler
The system administrator is advised to check the Task Scheduler tool when scheduling reoccurring Messenger activities. A message at the bottom of the Scheduled Task editor will indicate whether or not the taskScheduler is enabled. The user should verify that the times of scheduled Messenger tasks will not conflict with other tasks for system performance considerations.
