1. SMTP Authenticated:

   • This involves using a username and password to authenticate with an SMTP server before sending emails.
   • Recommended when you have control over an SMTP server and want to ensure secure communication.

2. Direct Send:

   • Directly sends emails without authenticating with an SMTP server. It relies on the server's configuration and may not require credentials.
   • Recommended for scenarios where direct communication with the email server is acceptable, and no authentication is required.

3. SMTP Relay:

   • Involves using a dedicated server (relay) to forward emails. The relay server authenticates with an SMTP server on your behalf.
   • Recommended when your environment requires an intermediary for email communication or when there are restrictions on direct communication.

4. 3rd Party Relay:

   • Similar to SMTP Relay but involves using a third-party service for relaying emails.
   • Recommended when you want to leverage third-party services for email delivery, often providing additional features and scalability.

Recommendation:

• If security and control are top priorities, SMTP Authenticated or Direct Send may be suitable, depending on your email server configuration.
• If you prefer using an intermediary for email delivery or have specific requirements, SMTP Relay or 3rd Party Relay may be appropriate.

The telnet or Ping or connectivity should be established from SC2.0 client to SMTP server? is that Mandatory?

[rushikeshvartak]

Are you using client SMTP or Saviynt SMTP

[Yaswanth]

Client SMTP, but Can you elaborate in both the cases?

[rushikeshvartak]

1. Ensure that the SC2.0 client has network connectivity to the SMTP server.
2. Verify that firewalls or security groups are configured to allow traffic on the necessary ports (e.g., port 25 for SMTP).
3. Check if there are any network restrictions or policies that may prevent the connection.
