Working With the SMTP Target Connector
This section provides an overview of the SMTP target connector and discusses how to:
Set gateway-level connector properties.
Set node-level connector properties.
The SMTP target connector enables the gateway to send messages by email using SMTP. This connector supports plain text and HTML text content types. The connector supports the following fields: To:, From:, cc:, and bcc:. You can send data of any format in the body of the email.
You can include only one email address per type of address in the header. For instance, you can include only one addressee as a destination (DestEmailAddress).
The connector ID for the SMTP target connector is SMTPTARGET.
The SMTP target connect is segment-aware and you may use it to send message segments to integration partners.
The SMTP target connector has one gateway-level property, in the section of the integrationGateway.properties file labeled DELIVERED CONNECTOR CONFIGURATION Section. This property specifies the SMTP mail server host through which the connector sends messages. Specify the host as follows:
ig.connector.smtptargetconnector.host=SMTP_domain_name
