SMTP (Outbound) ​

A SMTP Transport is used to connect to a SMTP service over the Internet or local network. You can send Files to the remote SMTP service. You configure the SMTP Transport with the appropriate details for connecting to the remote service and sending any files.

The SMTP Transport can connect to either clear text SMTP services, or SSL secured SMTP services. The SMTP server settings are configured in General Setup. The details configured on the SMTP Transport are just though necessary to know where to send the email.
