FME Server includes a service for receiving e-mail.

To configure FME Server to send e-mails using your own SMTP server, use the FME Server Notification Service to create an e-mail subscriber. To create an e-mail subscriber, open the FME Server Web User Interface and click Notifications > Subscriptions tab. For instructions on how to configure FME Server to send e-mail notifications upon success or failure of job completion, see Configuring FME Server to Send Email Notifications on Job Completion.

<FME Server Install DIR>\Utilities\smtprelay\james\apps\james\SAR-INF\config.xml
Find the following tags:
<postmaster>Postmaster@localhost</postmaster>
<servername>localhost</servername>
Replace the term localhost with your public host name. For example:
<postmaster>Postmaster@fmeserver.example.com</postmaster>
<servername>fmeserver.example.com</servername>
Configure the attachments directory.
