Configuring the email server
RAC/M Identity must be configured to send emails using an SMTP server. The SMTP server is configured in the config.properties file.
Common parameters
These parameters apply to all providers. Usually you should keep the default values, but they can be tweaked to fit your needs.
| Parameter | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
mail.server.timeout.ms | The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the SMTP server to respond. | 30000 (30 seconds) |
mail.server.retry.count | Number of immediate retries. When we receive an error from the SMTP server, we will immediately retry the request this number of times. | 3 |
mail.retry.enabled | Whether to enable delayed retries. If the operation failed and the immediate retries did not work, the mail will be stored to be retried later. | true |
mail.retry.interval.quartz | CRON syntax for when to retry sending mails. | 0 */5 * ? * * * (every 5 minutes) |
mail.retry.period.minutes | The maximum number of minutes that the mail will be stored to be retried later. After this time, the mail will be discarded. | 10080 (7 days) |
