The MailNotification task builds and sends email notifications. It uses information from the job configuration settings, the most recently published email version set, index references, the data file, and the email addresses to generate email.
The configuration settings you must specify for this task include the Base URL, the mail server name, the return address, the administrator's address, subject lines, etc., and how eaDirect handles delivery errors.
You also specify enrollment model settings to tell eaDirect where to look for email enrollment information. If you use eaDirect enrollment, by default, the system uses the email addresses found in the eaDirect database. If you use a customized enrollment application, you must specify the custom Enroll Model file name.
