What it does
User name of the mail server account that sends the mails.
When set
Needed with the password whenever mail is sent with sign-in. Without it, a Risk Analysis run with mail on stops at start, unless anonymous mail is on.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: Not set: signed-in mail cannot start; some installs read it from your Key Vault
Risk and how to reverse it
A wrong value can mean that alerts and reports go to the wrong people or to nobody, or that mail stops; no collected data is changed. Reversible at once: change it back.
Requires
Works only while "Send mail without sign-in" is off. Read by: risk-analysis.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: Set it when you turn mail on with a relay that needs sign-in.
