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. HP 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 Verba Storage targets, please refer to the Storage targets article.
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 article.
