In Custom mode, you configure the SMTP server manually.

What you need to fill in:

• SMTP mail server – the SMTP server address

Disable Sending for diff / tlog

In the advanced settings, you can disable email notifications for specific backup types, such as diff and tlog.

This is useful when these backups run frequently and you do not want to receive too many repetitive emails, while still keeping notifications for more important runs.
