The settings in this section govern the format, protocol, and other parameters for sending e-mails from Circulation. They are used when Circulation sends eBill, New Password, and Digital Vacation Pack e-mails.
1. What level of logging should be used when sending SMTP email? B (NCS) If using the SMTP protocol, select the logging level for monitoring e-mail. This can be verbose (“1”), medium (“2”), or minimal (“3”). The default is “2.”
2. Which mode should Send EBills be run in? BCP (Client) This parameter is typically set to “Test” while implementing eBill e-mails, and is set to “Live” once testing is complete.
Live
eBill e-mails will be sent when Send eBills is run with Send Emails checked.
Test
E-mails will not be sent by Send eBills. Instead, when you run Send eBills with Send Emails checked, a pop-up window will appears that prompts for the number of test e-mails to send, the test e-mail address to send them to, and whether or not the bills in this batch should be marked as sent.
3. What is the host name for the related online edition? BCP (Client) For example, this might be “http://www.dtint.com.” Subscribers temp stopped on a digital vacation pack will be given access to this edition.
4. What is the URL path for the related online edition? BCP (Client)
This path is appended to the host name. For example, the URL path might be
“?action=login&rtype=eereg.”
5. What is the host name for Day Pass? BCP (Client)
6. What is the URL path for Day Pass? BCP (Client) If you offer day passes, these parameters define the host name and URL to be used with the day pass e-mail template (see the User Manual). The template defines the content of e-mails sent to subscribers who purchase a day pass. These parameters should therefore build the URL that points to the digital edition offered to day pass subscribers.
