Resolution

Yes, you can configure the Smarts SAM mail notification adapter to send e-mails to the specific port on the smtp-server. 

To do this, you can modify the "mail-notify.conf" file,  path (<Basedir>/SAM/smarts/conf/notifier/mail-notify.conf)

• Set the "MailServer" attribute as <host>:<port> in the mail notifier configuration file
