Create a Global Outbound Email Server
System administrators create a global outbound email server to handle outbound email notications. You
can create only one outbound server, which appears as the default for all tenants. If tenant administrators do
not override these seings before enabling notications, vRealize Automation uses the globally congured
email server.

Add a Tenant-Specific Outbound Email Server
Tenant administrators can add an outbound email server to send notications for completing work items,
such as approvals.
Each tenant can have only one outbound email server. If your system administrator has already congured a
global outbound email server, see “Override a System Default Outbound Email Server,” on page 147.
