uri: smtp://localhost:1025

If the connection is not present, move or delete your user configuration vault file

Use the smtp connection

You can then use the smtp connection with the sendmail operation via the target URI

Example:

pipeline:
  - ...
  - name: "Send"
    operation: "sendmail"
    args:
      target-uri: "@smtp" # smtp is the default smtp connection and is therefore optional

Note that it's optional as smtp is the default connection name.

Full Howto Examples:

Stop the smtp service

Once, you don't need the smtp service, you can stop it:

with the tabul service stop command
or with Docker

Tabul Service Stop
Docker

tabul service stop smtp

1 service was stopped
