Configuration Manager - Communication/Mail
This is where many default email settings are defined including test modes, email forwarding, sender accounts, email recipients, SMTP details, and many more. Further details on each field or setting is available via the "i" operating instruction icon.
Description
Setting | What does the setting do? |
---|---|
General | |
Forward internal mails | If "false", internal LMS messages are, as a general rule, not forwarded via SMTP (regardless of other settings, e.g. at user profile or notification level). |
Test mode | TestMode for e-mails: If this value does not have a comment and is true, then the senders and recipients of all e-mails are set to testSender and testReceiver values. Deactivation of mailing test mode is only possible in the "PROD" context. |
Enable attachments | This enables adding attachments to enrolment messages, notifications, learning logic emails and also in the message monitor when sending/resending a message. |
Include Course/Learning path name & Identification code when sending internal messages | This option, if selected, will display the Course/Learning path name and Identification code (if available) automatically in the body text message when a learner is sending internal messages using the Email function from the Course/Learning path Description page. If this option is checked, the user has also the option of configuring a metatag ID which can be used instead of the default identification code. Moreover, the same information is also displayed on the body text message when a user is sending internal messages via Course Instruction or Participant Administration. Important Only meta tags of type text field are supported. The system will not restrict other meta tag types, but the output will likely not be as expected. |
Metatag ID to be used as identifier for courses/learning paths when sending internal messages | |
Test receiver | Recipient address in test mode: Address to which all e-mails are sent if test mode is active. |
Test sender | Sender address in test mode: Address from which all e-mails are sent if test mode is active. |
External mailing | |
Forward undeliverable mail | Controls whether e-mails which could not be delivered to their original destination should be delivered to the undeliverable mail recipient defined below. |
Undeliverable mail recipient | Defines the e-mail address that should receive e-mail that could not be delivered to their original destination. |
Mine type | Specifies the format in which the e-mail will be sent (Either plain text or html). |

Use system-wide sender for mails | Controls whether the system-wide mail sender should be used with priority for personal e-mails, automated notifications, enrolment/cancellation mails and automated system e-mails. |
Send multiple recipients only in BCC | Determines if all recipient addresses are listed in the BCC field of an SMTP message to multiple recipients. true: If a message is sent to more than one recipient, all recipient addresses are listed in the BCC field. Otherwise, the sole recipient will be shown in the ’To:’ field. false: One recipient is shown in the ’To:’ field, the others are listed in the CC field. |
Internal mailing | |
Deactivate information about email forwarding | Determines if the forwarded internal message in the corresponding SMTP email will indicate the message has been forwarded. |
Number of recipients of externally forwarded internal messages | Restricts the number of recipients of externally forwarded internal messages (i.e. how much email addresses should be packaged in one mail). Note: If the value is greater than 1, it is possible in the case of an undeliverable message that the message will not be sent to the remaining recipients. |
SMTP sent-by address | Determines the SMTP sent-by address under which all internal messages are forwarded to an external address. The displayed value "original" causes the forwarded message to retain the original sender. |
Mail monitor staggering amount | Determines the number of e-mails which are sent via MailStaggeringJob per dispatch interval. If the parameter is defined with 0, no staggering takes place. |
Hide recipient list | Determines if display of direct recipients of an internal message and a list of CC recipients will be prevented from user, unless user is the sender of the message. Replies to the message show neither recipients nor CCs in the message body that includes the text of the original message. |
Number of days after which mail monitor messages will be deleted by cron job | Defines the number of days after which mail monitor messages will be deleted by cron job (with reference to the date the message was sent). |
Email address for user feedback | Recipients email address from feedback messages. |
Send feedback message anonymously | Determines if feedback messages will be sent personally or anonymously. True: Sending will be done anonymously. False: Feedback messages will contain personal information (Name, Company, address). |

Enable resource booking mails | |
Sender address editable | Determines whether, in the dialog for sending a confirmation e-mail, the user may or may not edit the sender address of the e-mail. |
Default sender address | Determines the standard sender address of a confirmation e-mail in the event that the attribute senderAddress in the element resourceBookingConfirmationTemplate is not specified in the template used, or the user is not using any template for the confirmation e-mail. Note: It is essential to specify this parameter if the attribute "Sender address editable" is set to "false" as otherwise the sender field of the e-mail could not be completed. |
