API Manager Mail Server Configuration

You can configure the mail server that is used to send the notification emails. Email notifications are sent to the portal administrators when certain events occur. For example, when an application developer places a request for a plan, or when a portal administrator approves the request and creates a subscription for the requestor, or when a user logs a support request.
