You can configure an appliance to automatically email reports to designated recipients.

For additional information on configuring an appliance to send reports automatically by email, and on creating recipient lists, see Appliance settings.

If you have configured email recipients to receive System reports, the appliance sends these reports each day: Appliance Status report and Management Status report. The reports are emailed from this address: reports@ApplianceHostname. If desired, you can change this address to reports@ApplianceDomainName.

Note:  Some relay servers are configured to modify the From address to a specified sender. If this is the case in your environment, this procedure will not update the From address used for Unitrends System reports.

The General Configuration (Advanced) dialog displays.
