E-mailing log files

The log file can be silently e-mailed when the logger closes the current file and starts the new one. To enable e-mailing do the following:

1) Instruct the logger when to e-mail:

Open the schedule page in the Logger Configurator and set how often the logger should start new log files. In example below the logger will close the log  file and e-mail it to every 3 hours: 

2) Set up e-mail settings

Press E-mail settings... to specify e-mail options, similar to those in an e-mail client:

Send log files to - e-mail address where to send the logs

Outgoing mail server / SMTP Port - SMTP server and its port used by logger to send e-mails.

Server requires authentication - Check this and type in your account name and password if your server requires authentication.

If failed, retry every X minutes for up to Y minutes - If the first attempt to send the file is unsuccessful, the logger will try again every X minutes for up to Y minutes. If still no success, the logger will keep trying at a random time once per 1.5 hour. The logger will never show error messages,  even if this option is clear.

Never launch IE auto-dialer - If  checked,  the logger attempts to send e-mails only when already on-line.  I.e. if the computer configured to automatically connect to the Internet via modem, this option suppresses launching of Internet Explorer auto-dialer.

3) Send a test e-mail

Press Send test e-mail to send a test message according to the shown settings. You'll see complete talk to the SMTP server.
