Email Received (SMTP)
The Email Received (SMTP) trigger allows you to configure email addresses to receive messages from SMTP email clients, and send the email data to FME Server as JSON.
The Email Received (SMTP) trigger has two output ports. The success port (✔) can send a message if the trigger receives successfully. The failure port (x) can send a message if the trigger fails to receive.
To use the Email Received (SMTP) trigger, you must first make sure your FME Server is properly configured to receive email. For more information see Configuring FME Server to Receive Email.
Note: The Email Received (SMTP) trigger is not supported in a fault tolerant installation of FME Server. Consider using the Email Received (IMAP) trigger instead.
Parameters

Tip: To test that your parameters work as expected, click Validate.
- Email User Name:
- To email FME Server directly, enter the user account name to receive the email on the FME Server host system. For example, if the FME Server host name is services.internal, and the email address is user@services.internal, enter user.
- To email a separate server that relays the email to FME Server, enter the user name of the email address on the email server. For example, if the email address is user@company.com, enter user.
Note: A rule must be configured on the email server that relays emails for the specified Email User Name on to FME Server. The rule must specify the FME Server machine name and SMTP port. To determine the port, see Configuring for SMTP.
- Download Attachments To: (Optional) Specify a location to download any attachments.
- Select a Resources folder (...).
- Enter your own location. Directory paths must use forward slashes (/) or escaped backslashes (\\).
Note: Email addresses are case-insensitive.
