Advanced Email Delivery 5.6.19.19

The Advanced Email Delivery functionality utilizes the OPERA Application server for delivery instead of the database server. This is only applicable for OPERA 5 Oracle hosted environments.

Customers can specify their own Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server for email delivery to be compliant with Domain Based Message Authentication, Reporting and Compliance (DMARC). DMARC is configured at the SMTP server level and verifies that the sending SMTP server domain corresponds with the sender’s e-mail domain.
