This component is deprecated and will be removed in NiFi 2.x.

This processor implements a lightweight SMTP server to an arbitrary port, allowing nifi to listen for incoming email. Note this server does not perform any email validation. If direct exposure to the internet is sought, it may be a better idea to use the combination of NiFi and an industrial scale MTA (e.g. Postfix). Threading for this processor is managed by the underlying smtp server used so the processor need not support more than one thread.
