E-mail broker can be used to publish e-mail notification via a configured e-mail account. This uses Axis2 Mail Transport when sending mails from CEP.
To configure the e-mail account edit the <CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2_client.xml by updating email-address, user-name and password and other relevant property values from the MailTransportSender.
<axisconfig name="AxisJava2.0">
...
<transportSender name="mailto"
class="org.apache.axis2.transport.mail.MailTransportSender">
<parameter name="mail.smtp.from">email-address</parameter>
<parameter name="mail.smtp.user">user-name</parameter>
<parameter name="mail.smtp.password">password</parameter>
<parameter name="mail.smtp.host">smtp.gmail.com</parameter>
<parameter name="mail.smtp.port">587</parameter>
<parameter name="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">true</parameter>
<parameter name="mail.smtp.auth">true</parameter>
