SMTP policy
Attach an SMTP policy to one or more EmailOutput nodes in a message flow to control connection details to an SMTP server at run time.
You can configure the EmailOutput node to send an email to a list of recipients. You can also construct a message flow that produces an email where the SMTP server, list of recipients, subject, text, and multiple attachments are all determined at run time. You can use the SMTP server and port property of the EmailOutput node to specify the host name of the SMTP server that the integration server uses to send emails, or to specify an alias that refers to an SMTP policy (see Sending emails).
If you redeploy an SMTP policy, all message flows that are using the policy will be stopped and restarted.
