Configuring outgoing e-mails for Outbound E-mail

The <Mail> section of the configuration file OutboundEmail.xml allows you to handle outgoing e-mails.

Procedure

  1. Open OutboundEmail.xml. located by default in the %TRIDION_HOME%\config\, for editing.
  2. Locate the <Mail> section. This section contains a number of elements relevant for the behavior of subscription-related e-mails, as well as a number of other options that are relevant only for the deprecated Outbound E-mail feature.
  3. You can specify the following settings:
    <TriggeringInterval>
    The number of seconds you want Outbound E-mail to wait before checking if new Contacts have joined a Distribution List that triggers a Mailing.
    <TestEmailPriority>
    The priority of e-mails sent out for testing purposes (these should have a higher priority than regular Mailings). The higher the number, the higher the priority.
    <MaxEmailsPerPeriod>
    The maximum number of e-mails a Contact may receive within a given period of time as specified by the <LimitingPeriod>setting. 0 indicates unlimited.
    <LimitingPeriod>
    A period of time during which a Contact may receive no more than a set number of e-mails as specified by the <MaxEmailsPerPeriod> setting.
    <ArchivePersonalizedEmails>
    The default for the Archive personalized e-mail check box when you create a new Mailing:
    • true selects the check box
    • false deselects the check box.

    Set the enforce attribute to false to allow users to select or deselect the check box, or true to prohibit changing the default.

    <RequireAllFieldsDefault>
    The default for the Send Mailing and Send all Mailings Only send e-mail to Contacts with all required merge data check box. true selects the check box by default, false deselects it.
    <DefaultSenderAddress>
    The default value added to the E-mail sender address field when a user creates a new Mailing.
  4. Save and close OutboundEmail.xml.
