E-mail Message Options
E-mail message options are set for each password policy from the Maximum Age rule properties page. To configure the e-mail message options for a policy:
- Double-click the desired policy in the right pane of the management console.
- Double-click the Age (Max) rule's icon.
- Select the Enabled check box to enable the Maximum Age rule.
- Choose a value from the Days and Mode drop-down lists.
- Click the E-mail tab.
Choose values from the days drop-down lists to specify when e-mails will be sent. By default, e-mails are sent 14, 7, and 2 days before a user's password expires. Choose the first item in a list (blank) to send fewer than three e-mails.
Type the name and e-mail address you wish to appear in the e-mail's From field in the From text box. The correct format is "Display Name" <mailbox@domain.com>
Type the text you wish to appear in the e-mail's Subject field in the Subject text box.
Type the body of the e-mail in the large text box. The e-mail is sent as plain text unless the body includes the <html> tag. If sending e-mail as HTML, you must include the complete HTML document starting with <html> and ending with </html>. If the body is too long to fit in the text box, type a path to a file like this: file:C:\path\filename.ext
Do not use quotes for long filenames and do not include any other text. The PPE Mailer will read the e-mail body from the specified file.
The e-mail's subject and body can contain various macros. Use these macros to personalize the e-mail.
