    <property key="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">true</property>
    <property key="mail.smtp.auth">true</property>
    <!-- Thread Pool Related Properties -->
    <property key="maxThread">100</property>
    <property key="keepAliveTimeInMillis">20000</property>
    <property key="jobQueueSize">10000</property>
</adapterConfig>

Creating an email event publisher

Configuring global properties

The following global properties can be set for the Email event publisher type in the <CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/input-event-adapters.xml file. These properties apply to all the publishers of the email type. If a global property available by default is removed, the default value of the property is considered.

Custom properties cannot be added as global properties.

After entering the above adapter properties, select the Message Format which you want to apply on the published events. Also, click Advanced to define custom output mappings based on the Message Format you selected. For more information on custom output mapping types, see Publishing Events in Various Event Formats.

 

You can also define the respective adapter properties of the event publisher based on the transport type within the <to> element of the event publisher configuration in the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/eventpublishers/ directory as follows.

 

<eventPublisher name="EmailOuputEventAdapter" statistics="disable" trace="disable" xmlns="http://wso2.org/carbon/eventpublisher">
