The [outgoing] section contains settings for the email server that dupReport will use to send the final summary report email. If you are not sure what these settings should be for your email provider, try Googling "<email provider> SMTP settings."

outtransport=smtp

Specify the transport protocol used to send emails to the outgoing server. Only SMTP is supported for outgoing email.

outserver=localhost

DNS name or IP address of outgoing email server.

outport=587

SMTP port for outgoing email server.

outencryption=tls

Specify the encryption used by outgoing email server. Can be 'tls' or 'none'

outaccount=<account name>

User ID on outgoing email system.

outpassword=<password>

Password for outgoing email system.

Email address of report sender. To add a "friendly name" to the sender's email address, use the form:

 `outsender=Arthur Dent <[email protected]>`

Email address of report recipient. To add a "friendly name" to the receiver's email address, use the form:

`outreceiver=Arthur Dent <[email protected]>`

To send to multiple recipients, separate the recipients with a comma:

outkeepalive=false

Large inboxes may take a long time to scan and parse, and on some systems this can lead to a server connection timeout before processing has completed. This is more likely to happen on the outgoing connection (where there may be long periods of inactivity) than on the incoming connection. If you are experiencing timeout errors on your outgoing server connection set this value to 'true'.
