2.3.5 SMTP Mail Details Configuration
The SMTP mail details Configuration may be used to set up information for an email that is to be sent using the SMTP mail protocol.
A standard SMTP email Activity named SMTP_EMAIL is provided. This standard Activity uses the information in the SMTP Mail Details Configuration to provide basic details for the email to be sent. Also some of the details that are to be used on the email may be provided at execution time. Consequently a SMTP Mail Details Configuration may be set up with the basic, unchanging values and the remainder of the mail information provided at execution time.
For example you could set up a Mail Details Configuration for the standard order acknowledgement email. This standard acknowledgment email could then be sent with minor variations.
The standard SMTP Activity uses LANSA Integrator.
