Field	Description
Email Server	Enter the host name or IP address of an SMTP-compliant email server.
Port	Enter the SMTP port that the SMTP server that you entered above uses .
Use TLS	If you use an email provider, such as Microsoft Office 365, that uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption, select this check box. When you select this check box, enter the following on the Email tab: In the Email Server field, enter the address of the SMTP server, such as smtp-mail.outlook.com if you use Office 365. In the Port field, enter 25. In some cases, port 25 or 587 may be required. In the Username and Password fields, enter a username and password if they are required by your email provider for sending emails via SMTP. For example, enter your Office 365 username and password if you use Office 365. If you use smtp.office365 or other SMTP vendors who require that an existing account must match the email address in the From field of emails from Deltek, then you may need to create or rename an account/mailbox to match the two default sender email addresses used in Deltek. The two default email addresses are derived by taking the email address that is entered in the Default Sender field on the Email tab in General System Settings and adding the following prefixes to it: Deltek_: Invoice Approval and Billing Transfer email alerts use this prefix. DeltekAdmin_: All other applications use this prefix. For example, if you enter [e-mail] in the Default Sender field, the default sender email addresses are [e-mail] and [e-mail].
Default Sender	Enter the default email address that you want to use when emails are sent by Deltek. Deltek also uses this address if an employee sends an email message from within Deltek and that employee does not have an associated email address.
Add DeltekAdmin_ Prefix to the Default Sender Email Address	This option is selected by default and, for email authentication, automatically inserts the prefix DeltekAdmin_ to the sender's email messages. This allows the recipient to validate the authenticity of the sender. Clear this option to remove the prefix from emails.
Email Size Limit (Megabytes)	Enter the maximum email message size limit, in Megabytes (MB).
Number of Emails to Send at Once	Select this option to specify the number of email messages that can be sent at one time. This organizes the emails into groups of batches.
Use Default Sender for Default Reply To	Select this option if you want the Reply email address (the address that displays when you click Reply) to be the same as the email address that you entered in the Default Sender field. Do not select this option if you want the Reply address to be different from the address that you entered in the Default Sender field. In this case, enter a different address in the Default Reply To field.
Default Reply To	Enter a default Reply email address that displays when you click Reply.
Default Help Desk	Use this field to funnel all Deltek help desk inquiries to a single email address. Deltek uses the address that you enter here to route any email messages that users send via Help > Help Desk (on the title bar).
Username (optional)	If your SMTP server requires domain authentication, enter the username in this field. This is a domain username, not a Deltek username.
Password (optional)	If your SMTP server requires domain authentication, enter the password (that matches the domain username above) in this field. This is a domain password, not a Deltek password.
Application URL	Enter your enterprise's entire URL. For example: http://vision.deltek.com. This field is required if you want alert emails to work in Deltek.
Send Test Email to Default Help Desk	Click this button to test the setup of the default help desk email address.
