# About the Send Email (SMTP) Tool

The Send Email (SMTP) Tool is used to create a Task Step that sends messages to any SMTP compliant mail server. The Step is capable of sending multiple messages in either text or HTML formats, incorporating data from an Input and/or Format Step to any number of recipients. If data being used from an Input Step includes a column containing e-mail addresses, then this may be used as a "dynamic" recipient address.

The Tool is configured globally with the name or IP address and port number of the SMTP Server to use, and this is then transparent for all Steps created. An internal address book is provided so that common SMTP addresses can be defined and re-used. MAPI address books such as those available from Microsoft Mail, Microsoft Outlook and the Microsoft Exchange Server Global Address List (GAL) are also supported.

Commonly the message content would be a document generated by a Format type Step such as Format as Text, Format as HTML, or Run Crystal Report but it is also possible to attach the document to the message and additionally create fixed or dynamic message content by inserting columns from the recordset being used.
