SMTP Input
SMTP Input tasks are used to receive SMTP requests made by any email client or other SMTP com-
mands 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 PReS Workflow server's IP or hostname.
Secure communication for the SMTP Server is enabled and configured in the preferences for the SMTP
Input. See "SMTP Input preferences" on page667.
Caution: 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 PReS Connect "Create Email Con-
tent" on page500 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 "cli-
[e-mail] ". The process then redirects the content of those emails to an extraction and
finally to a PDF printing.
