2. Open the buildmanifest.smtp.properties file with a text editor.
   Standard defaults

   # These properties control the SMTP configuration required to send emails at the end of the Build Manifest processing.  
   #
   bmanifest.smtp.mailhost = smtp.ixiasoft.local
   bmanifest.smtp.mailport = 25
   bmanifest.smtp.subject = This is an automated email from Skynet.
   bmanifest.smtp.from.address = no-reply@ixiasoft.com

   bmanifest.smtp.password =
   
   #You can create any property that you need for your SMTP mail library or 
   #that you can use in the template file. For example:
   bmanifest.smtp.ssl =
   
   #The property value will be expanded at runtime to match the destination.
   #The template can also include properties that will be expanded at runtime.
   bmanifest.smtp.message.file  = ${outgen.resources.dir.client}/notificationtemplate.html
   
   # This must be a valid target in your conductor file or one supplied with IXIA CCMS, as follows:
   # target name: Ixiasoft.SendEmail or Ixiasoft.SendEmailWithAuthentication
   bmanifest.smtp.ant.target = Ixiasoft.SendEmail
