Setup SMTP Apache Nifi mail server

[#1]

Hi Everyone, 

I want to set up an outbound  Apache Nifi SMTP email server with Outlook so that It could send the outbound email. Does anybody have any suggestions for this? 

I have tried with the ListenSMTP processor but not sure how to set up the "Listening Port", and what other components it would require for that 

I have tried to follow this page: https://medium.com/@tspann/using-nifi-as-an-smtp-email-test-server-713677ac5b67

But not so sure how to configure that processor with Outlook, or even need outlook at all for that email server. 

Thank you, everyone, for reading.

Welcome to the community.

I am not completely clear on your use case from your description.  What are you trying to accomplish?
Are you trying to generate emails within NiFi and send to an external outlook email address or are trying to have your NiFi receive emails?

It sounds like maybe sending an email from a NiFi dataflow to some email address.  If so, the processor you want to use is the putEmail processor.  As far as the SMTP settings, those need to come from the target SMTP server.  

For example:
Microsoft provides SMTP settings here:
