Mail Farms

In Connect, you can set up one or more mail farms. Users can select a different mail farm at the conversation, campaign or message level. An e-mail is sent through the secondary mail farm selected at the message, campaign or conversation level, whichever is available in the order of priority. If there is no specific mail farm selected at these levels, then e-mail is sent through the default mail farm.
