What needs to be configured for SendMail activity

Hi,

I have a Notification activity. It's running successfully but I'm not able to receive the mail. The IP entry for the mailserver is available in the 'hosts' file on the server. Even then, I'm unable to receive the mail.

May I know is there anything else that needs to be configured on the Unix box to make this activity work?

CHeers,
Mohan

Try substituting the word 'mail' in place of your 'SMTP Server Name'

Hi Sainath,

Where shld I substitute the word 'mail'? In the hosts file or in the Notificatio Activity?

Cheers,
Mohan

I've found that it's OK to put the server's host name into the SMTP Mail server name field in the Notification Activity.
