Set up outbound email

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

The outbound email (also known as JavaMail) for the Smart Email solution provides a monitor to handle Service Manager e-mail events. This monitor connects Service Manager into standard e-mail facilities and allows Service Manager operators and applications to send HTML emails. Any mail system that supports Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or has an SMTP gateway or bridge can receive e-mail from Service Manager if the outbound email is enabled.

Note If you have already implemented a different outbound email solution such as SCAuto Mail or Connect-IT, you can also continue to use it as the outbound email solution for Smart Email.

To set up outbound email for the Smart Email solution, you need to configure the emailout parameter in the sm.ini file. For detailed information on configuring the emailout parameter, see Startup parameter: emailout.

Note Only messages enclosed within HTML tags can be sent out as HTML emails, otherwise messages are sent as plain text.
