Mail server setup
General
This section describes how to set up the mail server in the server\Web.Config.
The setup is important, among other things, in order to use the mail dispatch in COGLAS or to be able to send the reports in the event centre by mail.
Important: The web service and the app pool must then be restarted in order to start sending mails!

Commissioning
To activate the set parameters and adjustments in the server\web.config, the web service and the App Pool must then be restarted. Proceed as follows:
Finalise changes -> Shut down web service with app pool -> Save web config -> Restart web service and app pool.
Attention! If the Web.config is saved during operation, this acts like a restart of the web service and interrupts current sessions in COGLAS."
