Configure Email

SABnzbd can send you emails about completion of jobs and about disk almost full condition.
You can send email through the SMTP server of your ISP. This is generally the easiest option, that doesn't require you to set a user account and password.
SABnzbd will try to use SSL secured email when supported by the mail server (this normally requires an user account and password).
Even Google mail (gmail.com) is possible.

Email options

End-of-job notifications Send an email after each job is completed and fully post-processed
Disk full notifications Send an email when SABnzbd paused because the disk is almost full

Email Account Settings

Check your email provider's instructions for the proper values.

Email sender The email address of the sender. This can be a fake address, but you emails may be flagged as spam. Especially when you also set an account name and password, it is better to use your own real email address.
