vSphere 7.0.3 Mail Settings

[jscooper22]

Hi,

I'm trying to set smtp up in vsphere 7.0.3 (20990077). According to this page

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vcenter.configuration.doc/GUID-467D...

I should set parameters starting with mail.smtp...

But vsphere will not accept them and says all parameters must start with config...

I would just try config.mail.smtp....  except for that scary warning at the top saying "Adding or modifying configuration parameters is unsupported and can cause instability. Configuration parameters cannot be removed once they are added. Continue only if you know what you are doing."

Thanks,

Jeff
