Hi Stefan,

I remeber when I used elog email notif feature in my previous workplace which is running in windows, I just put IP address on SMTP host = X.X.X.X at the config file and it run without any problem. I'm thinking they are using SMTP server. Can you please recommend any SMTP server and SMTP relayer site that I can use to be able to successfully send my email notification. I tried SendGrid SMTP cloud server but i have hard time and still failing. you might recommend SMTP server that you are using now in your elog site. Thank you so much.

I believe there is a stunnel port for Windows, but that's more for the experienced users. I guess there is no simple solution.

Thanks Stefan,

I checked in my ELOG folder and can't find the stunnel.cfg. Is that only available in Linux? Can you please recommend a third party SMTP server for me use to successfully enable mail notif via Windows OS. Thanks much

Cheers,
