Email Configuration

The adapter accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the adapter, access to these internal properties is provided through the Other property.

Email Configuration Settings

DeleteOnSuspend:   Specifies whether files may be deleted from server when message is suspended.

If true, the file on the server will be deleted in accordance with the option selected in DeleteMode even if the message is suspended.

The default value is False.

AddAttachmentsAsMessageParts:   Includes attachments as additional parts on the message.

When retrieving messages from a mail server, this setting may be set to True to include incoming attachments as additional message parts. This setting is valid only when receiving messages, and is supported when using both the IMAP and POP protocols. If DuplicateAttachmentAction is set to "overwrite", an error will be thrown if there are duplicate attachments on the same email.

AttachmentDirectory:   Specifies the directory to which attachments are saved.

When retrieving messages from a mail server, this setting may be set to a full path to which attachments should be saved. For example "C:\download\attachments". This setting is valid only when receiving messages, and is supported when using both the IMAP and POP protocols. The DuplicateAttachmentAction will determine what happens if a file with the same name already exists.

AutoDecodeHeaders:   Whether to decode headers.

When retrieving messages from the server, this setting specifies whether headers are automatically decoded by the adapter. When IncludeHeaders is set to True this setting may also be set to False to ensure that the original header values are included without any processing applied. This is helpful in scenarios when further processing of the message is done outside of the adapter. The default value is True.

AttachmentNameSource:   Specifies the source location in the MIME entity from which the filename is retrieved.

When set to 0 (default), the adapter will use the usual header attributes to determine the filename of the attachment that is saved to disk. If these values are not present, the name attribute from the Content-Type header may be used by setting this configuration setting to 1. Note that use of the name attribute for Content-Type is deprecated, but this configuration setting is present to allow for backward compatibility. Possible value are:

0Auto (default)
1Auto including legacy attributes

AutoDecodeMessageText:   Whether to decode non-MIME message text.

When retrieving non-MIME encoded messages from the server, this setting specifies whether encoded messages (e.g., Base64 encoded message) are automatically decoded by the adapter. This configuration option is only valid for messages that are not MIME encoded. The default value is False.

AttachmentName[index]:   Filename for the attached file (at index).

This configuration setting allows you to set the filename for each attached file when IncludeAttachments is used. Valid array indices are from 0 to AttachmentCount - 1. An index of -1 can be used to set the filename to the same value for all potential attachments. To set the filename for the attachment at index 2, you would set the string "AttachmentName[2]=%SourceFileNameNoExt%.txt".

AttachmentType[index]:   Content-type for attached file (at index).

This configuration setting allows you to set the Content-Type for each attached file. Valid array indices are from 0 to AttachmentCount - 1. To set the Content-Type for the attachment at index 2 you would set the string "AttachmentType[2]=application/octet-stream".

IncludeAttachments:   Determines if additional message parts are added to the outgoing E-Mail as attachments.

This is only applicable when sending. The following values may be set to indicate which BizTalk message parts are treated as attachments.

0None (no parts are added as attachments)
1Body (only the body part is added)
2Other (only additional parts are added)
3All (both the body and additional parts are added)

IncludeFilterInURI:   Determines if the Filter is appended to the URI.

This allows for unique URIs with the same Mail Server, Mail Folder, and User when the Filter property is set. Note: This is only available in the Email Receiver.

MaskSensitive:   Whether sensitive properties should be masked when logging.

By default, Verbose logging will include the raw commands sent to the mail server in plain text. To mask sensitive values such as passwords and prevent them from appearing in the log, set this option to True. The default value is false.

MessageTextEncoding:   When set, the Text values will be encoded using the specified encoding.

This is only applicable if an attachment is set as well as MessageText. When set to one of the below integer values, the MessageText property will be encoded using the specified encoding. The "Content-Transfer-Encoding" header will also be set for the plain text parts. The following encodings are supported:

07-bit
1Quoted-Printable
2Base64
38-bit

This setting is only applicable to the Send Adapter.

DuplicateAttachmentAction:   Specifies what action to take when a duplicate filename is encountered.

This setting determines what happens when AttachmentDirectory is set and a duplicate filename is encountered. Possible value are:

0Overwrite. The file is overwritten in the AttachmentDirectory.
1 (default)Rename. The file is renamed so both files are kept.

The default value is 0 (Overwrite). If set to 1 (Rename) the filename will include text indicating it is a duplicate. For instance "test.txt" would be renamed to "test-duplicate-1.txt" in the event of a filename conflict.

FoldHeaders:   Whether incoming message headers should be folded.

By default, when IncludeHeaders is true, the adapter will unfold headers so that each header is on a single line. To instruct the adapter to fold the headers, set this configuration setting to True. Folding the headers may resolve line-length issues if the header value is long.

This is only applicable when receiving. The default value is False.

MoveTo:   Specifies the IMAP folder on the server to which messages will be moved.

If set, the adapter will move the downloaded messages to the folder specified. This is only applicable when ServerType is set to IMAP. Only successfully downloaded messages will be moved.

This is only applicable when receiving.

ReturnPath:   Sets the Return-Path to be used for sending email.

Setting this property sets the Return-Path to be used for sending email. If this is not set, the value in From is used.

This is only applicable when sending emails.

ReturnOnlyPlainTextPart:   Specifies if the adapter should return the first plain text part or the entire message.

If set to true the adapter will return only the first plain text part of a message. This is false by default. This is only applicable when receiving messages.

UIDMode:   If True, permanent message identifiers will be used instead of temporary identifiers.

When False, the IMAP server uses temporary message identifiers that are valid only during the current session. If this configuration setting is True (default), permanent message identifiers will be used instead.

The IMAP protocol operations where UID mode is used are the following: COPY, FETCH, STORE, SEARCH.

Note: This configuration setting only applies when ServerType is set to IMAP;

SSL Configuration Settings

ReuseSSLSession:   Determines if the SSL session is reused.

If set to true, the adapter will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:

  • The target host name is the same.
  • The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
  • The application process that calls the function is the same.
  • The logon session is the same.
  • The instance of the adapter is the same.

SSLCipherStrength:   The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption.

This minimum cipher strength largely dependent on the security modules installed on the system. If the cipher strength specified is not supported, an error will be returned when connections are initiated.

Please note that this setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library.

Use this setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.

SSLEnabledProtocols:   Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

Not all supported protocols are enabled by default (the value of this setting is 4032). If you want more granular control over the enabled protocols, you can set this property to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:

TLS1.312288 (Hex 3000) (Experimental)
TLS1.23072 (Hex C00) (Default)
TLS1.1768 (Hex 300) (Default)
TLS1 192 (Hex C0) (Default)
SSL3 48 (Hex 30)
SSL2 12 (Hex 0C)

Note: TLS 1.1 and TLS1.2 support are only available starting with Windows 7.

Note: Enabling TLS 1.3 will automatically set UseInternalSecurityAPI to True.

SSLIncludeCertChain:   Whether the entire certificate chain is included in the SSLServerAuthentication event.

This setting specifies whether the transport log contains the full certificate chain. By default this value is False and only the leaf certificate will be present.

If set to True all certificates returned by the server will be present in the transport log. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.

Note: When UseInternalSecurityAPI is set to True this value is automatically set to True. This is needed for proper validation when using the internal provider.

SSLSecurityFlags:   Flags that control certificate verification.

The following flags are defined (specified in hexadecimal notation). They can be or-ed together to exclude multiple conditions:

0x00000001Ignore time validity status of certificate.
0x00000002Ignore time validity status of CTL.
0x00000004Ignore non-nested certificate times.
0x00000010Allow unknown Certificate Authority.
0x00000020Ignore wrong certificate usage.
0x00000100Ignore unknown certificate revocation status.
0x00000200Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status.
0x00000400Ignore unknown Certificate Authority revocation status.
0x00000800Ignore unknown Root revocation status.
0x00008000Allow test Root certificate.
0x00004000Trust test Root certificate.
0x80000000Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN not-matching server name).

SSLEnabledCipherSuites:   The cipher suite to be used in an SSL negotiation.

The enabled cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").

The special value "*" means that the adapter will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.

Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.

Example values when UseInternalSecurityAPI is False (default):

// The "Other" property could contain ONE of the following lines:

  • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.

TLS12SignatureAlgorithms:   Defines the allowed TLS 1.2 signature algorithms when UseInternalSecurityAPI is True.

This setting specifies the allowed server certificate signature algorithms when UseInternalSecurityAPI is True and SSLEnabledProtocols is set to allow TLS 1.2.

When specified the adapter will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported the adapter will fail with an error.

The format of this value is a comma separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance:

// The "Other" could contain ALL of these lines:
UseInternalSecurityAPI=true
SSLEnabledProtocols=3072
TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa
The default value for this setting is "sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa".

In order to not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.

TLSNamedGroups:   The supported (EC)DHE groups.

This setting specifies a comma separated list of (EC)DHE groups that are supported for key exchange. The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

  • "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp521r1"
  • "ffdhe_2048" (default)
  • "ffdhe_3072" (default)
  • "ffdhe_4096"
  • "ffdhe_6144"
  • "ffdhe_8192"

The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072. This setting is only applicable when SSLEnabledProtocols includes TLS 1.3. Note that groups of larger size require more computational resources and will impact performance.

TLS13SignatureAlgorithms:   The allowed certificate signature algorithms.

This setting holds a comma separated list of allowed signature algorithms. Possible values are:

  • "rsa_pkcs1_sha256" (default)
  • "rsa_pkcs1_sha384" (default)
  • "rsa_pkcs1_sha512" (default)
The default value is rsa_pkcs1_sha256,rsa_pkcs1_sha384,rsa_pkcs1_sha512. This setting is only applicable when SSLEnabledProtocols includes TLS 1.3.

General Configuration Settings

AbsoluteTimeout:   Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.

If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method which does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.

LocalHost:   The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

The LocalHost configuration contains the name of the local host as obtained by the Gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the adapter initiate connections (or accept in the case of server adapters) only through that interface.

If the adapter is connected, the LocalHost configuration shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

TcpNoDelay:   Whether or not to delay when sending packets.

When true, the socket will send all data that is ready to send at once. When false, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm.

By default, this config is set to false.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Tells the adapter whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

By default the adapter will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. When set to False calls to unmanaged code will be made. In certain environments this is not desirable. To use a completely managed security implementation set this setting to True. Setting this to True tells the adapter to use the internal implementation instead of using the system's security API.

Note: This setting is static. The value set is applicable to all adapters used in the application.

When this value is set the product's system DLL is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in that file.

Connections Configuration Settings

PersistedConnectionTimeout:   How long to leave a persisted connection alive.

If persisted connections are enabled and PersistedConnectionTimeout is set to a positive value, the connection will be kept alive for that number of minutes after a message transmission. If no other messages are sent over that connection during the timeout period, the adapter will disconnect from that server.

Note: the default value is 0. This value means that the connection will be kept alive unless the server disconnects it due to idling.

Supported Macros

The adapter also supports the following Macros. These values are not case sensitive and would be supplied to a property in the form %MacroName%.

TempThis is resolved to the full path to the system's temporary directory.
MessageIDGlobally unique identifier (GUID) of the message in BizTalk Server.
MessageBodyThe body of the incoming BizTalk message (only applicable for Send adapters).
SourceFileNameThe original file name. This includes the extension and excludes the file path, for example, Sample.xml
SourceFileNameNoExtThe original file name without the extension or file path, for example, Sample
RemoteFileNameThe name of the file as it was uploaded to the remote server. This includes the extension and excludes the file path, for example, Sample.xml. Valid only for AS3, FTP, and SFTP Send Adapters.
DestinationPartyName of the destination party.
DestinationPartyQualifierQualifier of the destination party.
SourcePartyName of the source party.
SourcePartyQualifierQualifier of the source party.
DateTime:CustomFormatThis special value allows you to specify your own custom time format. For instance DateTime:yyyy would be resolved to the 4 digit year.
DateThe date format yyyy-MM-dd.
DateTimeThe date format yyyy-MM-ddThhmmss.
TimeThe date format hhmmss.
DateTime_BTS2000The date format yyyyMMddhhmmssf.
DateTime.TZThe date format yyyy-MM-ddThhmmsszzz.
Time.TZThe date format hhmmsszzz.
