Which element of the architecture effectively sends an e-mail when using FILENAME EMAIL?

Hello there.

I need to configure my firewall to allow email communication from SAS Viya 3.5 to an external SMTP server. To achieve this, I must specify a source IP address. However, since I'm working with a Full Deployment of SAS Viya 3.5 that includes a Distributed CAS Server, I'm uncertain which specific service or node is responsible for sending emails when using the FILENAME EMAIL statement in a SAS script. Is it the Compute server, CAS Controller, CAs Workers or other?

TL;DR: In a Full Deployment of SAS Viya 3.5, which service, node, or element is effectively responsible for sending emails when using the FILENAME EMAIL statement?

Will the FILENAME EMAIL statement be used by users using SAS Studio? Or do you anotherscenario in mind?

Hi @JosvanderVelden . Thank you for replying.  The FILENAME EMAIL statement will be used by users using SAS StudioV.

Then it would be the compute service: compsrv/default. Consult your inventory for the host(s) that carry this service.

Hope this helps,
