Configurations
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Process Entry name | Specify a unique name to identify the process entry on the workspace canvas. You can place a process entry on the canvas multiple times; however, each instance requires a unique name. |
| Email address | Specify the email addresses to validate. The field accepts static or an environment variable value. |
| Settings: | Configure the parameters in the section to perform an advanced SMTP validation check on the target email address. |
| SMTP Check? | Select the checkbox to perform an SMTP check. When selected, specify a sender email address in email sender field. During an SMTP check, process studio extracts the domain name from the supplied email address, retrieves all exchangers for the domain, and queries each exchanger. By default, process studio checks only the email address structure using a regular expression. |
| Time out | Specify the socket timeout duration to open a connection on the target SMTP host. The field accepts static or environment variable value. Default Value: 0 |
| Email sender | Specify the sender email address to query the SMTP host. The field accepts static or environment variable value. Note: The field is available when the SMTP check? Checkbox is selected. |
| Default SMTP server | Specify the target SMTP server to query. Providing a specific server accelerates the process because process studio bypasses fetching exchangers from the domain name and queries the specified server directly. The field accepts static or environment variable value |
