SMTP

This page provides a guide for configuring an SMTP service as a Storage Target in the Verba Recording System.

SMTP target can be used for e.g. Micro Focus Digital Safe, Global Relay and any other archive that provides email injection capability.Verba offers a generic SMTP Storage Target which is highly customizable to allow companies to export the recorded calls from Verba to their own storage.

For a general description of storage targets, please refer to Storage and export targets.

Currently, there are two preconfigured templates available:

• HP Digital Safe
• Global Relay

When using these templates, the emails to these storage targets will be sent in the format that these systems expect.

There is a third SMTP-based storage template implemented in the system for Bloomberg Vault. For the usage of this storage target, refer to the Bloomberg Vault - Instant Messaging article.
