Send an Email

The Email external action receives messages and delivers emails via the SMTP protocol.

The Email external action has two output ports. The success port () can send a message if the email is delivered successfully. The failure port (x) can send a message if the delivery fails.

Note: Email servers may have maximum connection limitations. When an Email Destination sends multiple emails to the same server in quick succession, this limitation may cause emails to be dropped. To fix this issue, adjust the MAX_WORKER_THREADS parameter in the email.properties file, located in <FMEServerDir>/Server/config/subscribers, to a value at or below the corresponding value of the email server. For example, if the email server's connection limit is 20, lower MAX_WORKER_THREADS from 100 (default) to 20.

Note: When Retry settings are configured, the failure port renders with a Retry Configured (⟳) icon.
