Set Up E-Mail
As a part of the Automated Access Review process, e-mails are sent to Syskit Point Admin and Syskit Point Collaborator users. For Syskit Point to be able to send e-mails, you need to configure the sending method. Two options are available:

SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
Please Note! The e-mail address set up in this section will appear in the Sent from field in all e-mails sent from Syskit Point.
Exchange Online Settings
Please Note! Exchange Online has a sending limit of 10000 e-mails per day.
The Exchange Online method enables you to use an existing Exchange account in your Microsoft 365 tenant to send e-mails from Syskit Point. Here, you can:
Enter a valid e-mail address in the Sent from field (1)
Choose whether to save e-mails sent by Syskit Point to the Sent Items folder (2); by default, this option is turned on, meaning that all e-mails sent from Syskit Point will be stored in the Sent mailbox folder of the entered Exchange account
Send a test e-mail (3) to check if the entered e-mail address is working properly
After clicking the Send test e-mail button, the Sent test e-mail dialog opens. Here, enter the e-mail address to which you want to send the test e-mail.
Click the Save button to store your e-mail settings.

You can check if the entered data is correct by sending a test e-mail.
Click the Save button once you confirm you received the test e-mail.
