How to Configure an SMTP Send Handler

You can set SMTP send handler properties in the BizTalk Administration console. These send handler properties are used as the send port configuration values if the properties are not set on the individual SMTP send port.

To change global variables for an SMTP send handler

  1. In the BizTalk Server Administration Console, expand BizTalk Server Administration, expand BizTalk Group, expand Platform Settings, and then expand Adapters.

  2. In the expanded adapter list, click SMTP, in the right pane, right-click the send handler that you want to configure, and then click Properties.

  3. In the Adapter Handler Properties dialog box, on the General tab, in the Host Name list, select the host with which the send handler will be associated, and then click Properties.
