Wait for 24 hours and verify with the target email address recipient if they have received "Digest Email".

## Troubleshooting:

The most common reason is SMTP connection or authentication failure. The simple way to verify that is by running a test on an SMTP connection as guided in the "prerequisite" section of this article. For any further assistance or help; please reach out to the Vectra Support team with test results.
