Creating custom SMTP Notification Provider

...

1. Before you begin, please determine what kind of e-mail services your company utilizes and what type of connections are supported. The following are widely used options:
   1. On-premises Exchange Sever
      1. Direct connection to the server, this will require an Exchange account dedicated to IT-Conductor, you will need to supply the user and a password to IT-Conductor configuration. In this case the notification e-mails will be sent from IT-Conductor assigned exchange account
      2. Relay SMTP Server. The relay server can be installed on the IT-Conductor Gateway machine and configured to forward e-mails to the exchange server or any other type of corporate messaging platform. Please work with your exchange administrators to set it up as it might require explicit authorizations in exchange to allow for  the e-mails to be forwarded. This option usually doesn't require user/password in IT-Conductor configuration, only host/port. Additionally the e-mails sender can be chosen as needed and the notification initiated by users will be marked as sent by them.
   2. Cloud-based e-mail services
      1. Microsoft Office 360 Exchange services. Office 360 supports Connectors, which allow to authenticate the senders via IP address or Host Name. A dedicated Connector can be defined for exclusive use by IT-Conductor (the connections will be initiated from one of IT-Conductor gateways)
      2. Google Workspace SMTP Relay. Google offers functionality similar to office 360 connectors where a dedicated relay can be defined for IT-Conductor and authenticated either by IP/Address or User/Password combination. Similarly, the connection to the relay will be initiated from one of the IT-Conductor gateways.
