SMTP Input
SMTP Input tasks are used to receive SMTP requests made by any email client or other SMTP
commands and can act as an SMTP proxy, processing emails before they are sent to another
SMTP server. In order for this task to receive files, the SMTP Server (also called "Outgoing
Email Server") in the email client must point to PlanetPress Workflow server's IP or hostname.
Warning
Emails received through this task will not reach their intended destination if the process
does not end with a Send Email Output Task, or contain the PlanetPress Connect
"Create Email Content" on page600 task.
Example
In this example, the SMTP Input plugin is used to capture incoming emails data that must meet
certain conditions as the subject that contains "Work to do" and the sender that contains
"[e-mail] ". The process then redirects the content of those emails to an extraction
and finally to a PDF printing.
Input
The SMTP Input task does not, by itself, capture any files. Neither does it directly wait for
requests to be received. Actually, it is the SMTP Server service that receives the requests and
places them in a specific location on the drive. When a request is received, the SMTP Input
polls that location and finds the requests and all attachments. It will always pick up the "oldest"
request received.
