Legal Hold SMTP information
When working in Relativity Legal Hold, there is a need for adding a SMTP login.
What is Relativity Legal Hold?
Relativity Legal Hold is a tracking software that allows information governance by tracking users and their content. Hold notices can be sent to people notifying them of impending or active litigation and the need to retain data. The acknowledgement of this notification allows them to verify the company complying with the litigation request. There is also the ability to preserve and in some versions collect data from Microsoft Office 365 clients.

| SMTP Port | The SMTP port number. NOTE: Legal hold outgoing emails are designed to work with SMTP and EWS protocol, these protocols run on universally defined ports. SMTP ports (25, 465, 587, 2525)and EWS ports (443) but RelativityOne being security conscious blocks most of these ports except 587 and 443.
