E-mail notifications are the prime form of communication in the XTRF Business Language Platform. The proper configuration of the outgoing mail is the key to work smoothly in the Home Portal. The notifications are used for communication with clients and vendors, file delivery and administrative operations, for instance the password reset.

All e-mails sent from the Home Portal are signed by the signed-in user.

For the technical details and settings regarding your e-mail account contact your e-mail service provider.
