screen is applicable when the VOIP administrator has chosen to receive log

MultiVOIP as Email Sender. When SMTP is used, the MultiVOIP will
actually be given its own email account (with Login Name and Password) on
some mail server connected to the IP network. Using this account, the
MultiVOIP will then send out email messages containing log report
information. The “Recipient” of the log report email is ordinarily the VoIP
administrator. Because the MultiVOIP cannot receive email, a “Reply-To”
address must also be set up. Ordinarily, the “Reply-To” address is that of a
technician who has access to the mail server or MultiVOIP or both, and the
VoIP administrator might also be designated as the “Reply-To” party. The
main function of the Reply-To address is to receive error or failure messages
regarding the emailed reports.
