Send Email (SMTP) Action

This action allows your FinalBuilder projects to send email via an SMTP server.

SMTP

Use global SMTP options

SMTP host

Host

The host name (or IP address) of the SMTP server

Port

The port on which to connect, defaults to 25

Authentication

Authenticate

Use EHLO

Enabling EHLO uses a slightly different protocol to communicate with the SMTP server. EHLO allows the SMTP server to report it's capabilities to the client (in this case FinalBuilder), and then the client can adjust it's protocol to support the reported capabilities.

It is generally a good idea to enable this option.

Use SSL

TLS

UserID /Password

If your smtp server requires authentication, provide your userid and password

Sender

Names and addresses

From

This must be set to a valid email address

Sender

Set this when sending mail on behalf of someone else

Receipt Recipient

If you require a notice receipt then set the address for the receipt message to be sent to

Mode

When operating in normal Mode, the action sends a single email message. When operating in individual mode, it sends a message to each individual specified in the recipients property. The copy to and blind copy to lists are not used in this mode.

Ignore individual failures

Recipients

The Recipients, Copy To, Blind Copy To and Reply To tabs all have the same grid that allows you to specify multiple email address/names.

Address can also be loaded from a text file. The format of the file is one recipient per line, with a comma separating the email address and name.
