When configuring a Mail Connector, what should be considered regarding firewall settings?

When configuring a Mail Connector, it's essential to ensure that the Atom's static IP address is permitted through the firewall settings. This allows the Mail Connector to establish a connection with the mail server and send or receive emails effectively. If the static IP address of the Atom is not allowed through the firewall, then the Mail Connector will encounter connectivity issues, preventing it from performing its designated tasks.

Ensuring that the Atom's IP address is properly configured in the firewall allows the necessary communication between the Boomi platform and the external email systems, which is vital for operations like sending notifications or integrating data that involves email communication. Properly managing firewall settings by including the Atom's static IP address helps safeguard network security while enabling essential functionality.
