====== Email Reports ======
When SMTP settings are properly configured, AhsayCBS is able to send email reports.

===== SMTP Settings =====
SMTP settings can be configured in AhsayCBS > System Settings > Basic > Email. You can configure your SMTP Server, Administrator Contact, and Report Settings there. 

==== Using Google's SMTP Server ====
Besides your own SMTP Server, you can use Google's SMTP Server for sending email reports. 

Firstly, configure the settings in your Google Account with the following steps:
  - https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en
  - Allow less secure apps here: https://myaccount.google.com/u/2/security

Then, enter these settings into AhsayCBS: 

  * Host: smtp.gmail.com
  * Port: 587
  * Login name: Your google account (e.g. xxx@gmail.com)
  * Password: Your google password

Note: 
Authentication may fail for the first time due to Google blocking unknown IP. If this happens, check your mailbox for the Security Alert email, click "Review Activity" and "Yes" under "Were you recently prevented from signing in to your Google Account?".
