# Mail Sender

To allow the option **“Notify me by email when the export is ready”** in **Export CSV** to send notifications to the currently logged‑in user, the **Mail Sender** plugin must be properly configured.

Follow the instructions below to ensure that the email server is correctly set up:

* **Auth type (\*)**: select the authentication method used by the system to connect to the mail server: 
  * **Logged User:** the credentials of the user currently logged in to Panorama are used. 
  * **Credential:** the credential defined in **Setup** → **Credentials** is used. When selected, an additional **Credential (\*)** field appears. Select from this field the specific stored credential that contains the **username and password** of the **sender** of all automated messages.
* **Server host (\*)**: enter the **hostname** of the mail server used to send the export notification emails.\
  Example: `smtp.yourdomain.com`.
* **Server port (\*)**: specify the **port number** used by the mail server for outgoing emails.
* **Sender system mail (\*)**: enter the email address of the **sender** of all automated messages.\
  Example: `no-reply@yourdomain.com`.
* **Server auth enable**: enable this option if the mail server must require authentication. The authentication method corresponds to the selected **Auth type**.
* **Server start tls enable**: enable this option if the mail server must require or support **StartTLS** to secure email transmission.

In addition to configuring the Mail Sender plugin, the administrator must also verify that the user's email address is present in the **Edit user \<Name>** window.
