SMTP Gateway tab

This tab specifies the SMTP gateways that you want this component to use for sending outgoing email messages.

The SMTP gateways are listed by priority order and the SMTP Capture component attempts a connection to each server starting from top of the list.

Click this button to modify the SMTP server address for the currently selected SMTP Gateway entry.

Remove SMTP Gateway

Click this button to remove a selected SMTP Gateway entry from the prioritized list of gateways.  The system will prompt for confirmation prior to removing any entry.  You cannot undo this operation after you remove an entry.
