Technical Notes

The activity supports flexible recipient addressing; an email can be successfully dispatched using only the Cc or Bcc fields if the To field is left blank. When attaching multiple files, ensure all directory paths are valid and separated by standard commas. The Read Timeout Value should be increased proportionally to the size of the attachments to prevent operation timeouts.
