# E-Mail Delivery

> How PerformanceGuard sends reports and notifications by e-mail once you have configured SMTP access.

Product: PerformanceGuard — a separate CapaSystems product; do not apply this page to any other.

If you have set up access to an SMTP server in the PerformanceGuard web interface (**ADMINISTRATION > Setup > SMTP**), PerformanceGuard can automatically send reports and notifications to recipients (**ADMINISTRATION > Event Management > Notification Recipients**) via e-mail.

You can keep track of such e-mails in the following ways:

### **View List of Sent E-Mails**

To view a list of e-mails sent by PerformanceGuard, view the **pguard.email\_delivery\_log** table in the **pguard** database (that is the backend server database).

The table may list three types of sent e-mails:

- Type 1: Reports
- Type 2: Notifications
- Type 3: Test e-mails (that you can send during notification recipient setup)

The table by default keeps data from the last week. If required you can change the table's keep period in the PerformanceGuard web interface:

1. Select **ADMINISTRATION > Setup > Parameters**.
2. Select the **Status** tab.
3. Edit the value of the **KEEP\_PERIOD\_EMAIL\_DELIVERY\_LOG\_DATA** parameter. Bear in mind that the value is specified in minutes.
4. Click the **Save Parameters** button.

### **View List of E-Mails that Haven't Been Sent**

If PerformanceGuard was not able to send e-mails, the unsent e-mails will be listed in the following places:

- **Reports**: To view a list of any unsent report e-mails in the PerformanceGuard web interface, select **ADMINISTRATION > Status > System Status** and then select the **Email Delivery** tab.
- **Notifications**: To view a list of any unset notification e-mails in the PerformanceGuard web interface, select **ADMINISTRATION > Event Management > Unsent Notifications**.

Data about unsent e-mails is in theory kept indefinitely, but if the SMTP server configured for PerformanceGuard works correctly, you should see little or no such data.
