Hi Guys,

thank you for your help. I thought that it might be possible out of the box. But in the mean time i made a plugin with java which can send Mails over any smtp server.

Thanks for your answers.

Best regards
Jörg

Hi joergf0002,

I would like to add a point here. We can go with Custom Smart Service for this use-case. We can create a smart service which will accept the email configuration parameters like SMTP Host, password, to, cc, message, etc and can be used to send any data via the special mail providers. If the mail provider configuration changes in future, we don't need to touch any server configuration file since we will be passing the values like the Host address, password as parameters to the Smart Service.

Hope this helps!

Agreed with Jim appraoch, You can use the External Service to make sure that the service will send the Email from the secured SMTP server.

The Advantage with this approach, In Enterprise level we can have one service that Triggers Email from the secured SMTP Server and all applications other than Appian can also make use of it.

I would look at setting up an external service/app that can be called via integration object whenever the "special" email needs to be sent out, instead of using the OOB appian email capabilities

That is not a solution for my problem because the system uses just one of the servers. But I need to send only meidcal data over this server and other data over the other smtp.

Best regards,

Hi Jörg,
We can specify multiple SMTP servers in Appian, but, I don't think we have option to switch SMTP server as we require from application.
Its just fail-over strategy to have multiple servers, if first server is unavailable, next will be tried.
Better you check with Appian support, if any customization is possible considering regulation issue.
Thanks.

Hi joergf0002 ,

We have to configure the SMTP server similar to one which you have already in custom.properties
