The value of the [UseSsl][] property inside this object depends on the [Host][] and [Port][] being connected to. There are two types of [SSL][]/[TLS][] connections that can occur: + +- [SSL][]/[TLS][] is used as soon as a connection is established +- [SSL][]/[TLS][] is used via the STARTTLS command if it is available + +The above two points correspond to the [UseSsl][] property being set to `true` and `false` respectively.

The value of the [Username][] property may optionally be encrypted, however the [Password][] should be encrypted. For more information on how to encrypt the password, see [EncryptedText][]. + +Note that the [UserCredentials][] object also contains a [Domain][] property which is ignored by this block. + +### Opening Sessions + +The Send Email Using SMTP Server block automatically handles creating and opening sessions for the specified [Basic Email Session Details][Basic Email Session Details Property] using the following rules: + +- If a session does not exist, a new session will be created, opened and used when the block runs. +- If a session already exists but is closed, the session will be opened and used when the block runs. +- If a session already exists and is open, the session will be used when the block runs. + +[Basic Email Session Details][Basic Email Session Details Property] will keep the session open across multiple Send Email Using SMTP Server blocks as long as [Close Session][Close Session Property] is set to `false`. Keeping the session open helps increase the performance of the block due to the subsequent blocks not having to spend resources creating and opening sessions for each execution. + +Note that for all [SSL][] connections, the protocol to be used will be negotiated with the server depending on which protocols are available. Similarly, the [SASL][] mechanism to be used will be negotiated with the mail server based on the available mechanisms. + +For information on how to explicitly close a session, please see [Closing Sessions][]. + +### Closing Sessions + +Sessions can be explicitly closed by setting [Close Session][Close Session Property] to `true`. This causes the session to be closed after the [Email Message][Email Message Property] has been sent. + +If [Close Session][Close Session Property] is set to `false` the session will be closed when the [Variable][] that [Basic Email Session Details][Basic Email Session Details Property] is set to goes out of scope or the flow ends, whichever happens first. For more information about variables and scope, please see [Variables][]. + +For information on how to open a session, please see [Opening Sessions][]. + +### Known Limitations + +Currently
