The HCL Compass EmailRelay application

The HCL Compass EmailRelay application is a service-based application that runs as a WebSphere® application. It receives XML-encoded mail notifications from your EmailPlus-enabled HCL Compass database or from querying the HCL Compass database for email records. Then, the EmailRelay application translates the requests or data into email.

You can use the EmailRelay application with the following EmailPlus mail transport modes:
  • SMTP Relay mode

    This service listens for incoming network connections from the EmailPlus-enabled HCL Compass database. It accepts the XML encoded information, decodes it, and then establishes a connection to the SMTP server to send the mail.

  • PostOffice Relay mode

    This service periodically polls your EmailPlus-enabled HCL Compass database for EmailPlusPostOffice records. Each EmailPlusPostOffice record contains an XML encoded mail notification. The data that is contained in this record is decoded, and then a connection to the email to the SMTP server is established to send the email.
