Global settings define the settings that projects can share and are useful if you have information that you want to reuse in different projects. A good example of a reusable and shareable resource is a mail server.Please note that Metasploit Pro does not include a mail transfer agent, but you can configure it to connect to a locally or remotely hosted mail server. You just need to set up the SMTP settings for your mail server through the global settings.When you globally define the SMTP settings, Metasploit Pro automatically configures the e-mail server for campaigns that contain an e-mail component. You do not need to configure any additional settings for your mail server.If there is a special case in which you do not want to use the global mail server settings, you can override them in the campaign.
1.) From the main menu, select Administration > Global Settings.
• Address - The fully qualified mail server address (e.g., mail.domain.com).
• Port - The port that the mail server runs on. Typically, SMTP runs on Port 25.
• Domain - The hosted domain name for your mail server (e.g., domain.com)
• Username - The user name that the system uses to authenticate the mail server.
• Password - The password that the system uses to authenticate the mail server.
• Authentication - The authentication type determines the level of security and the login mechanism that is used to connect to the SMTP server.
4.) Click the Update button to save the settings.
