resolves elastic#88333 Fixed: - add note that `secure: false` will use TLS, but after an initial connection with TCP; we have been getting questions from customers who believed that `secure: false` implied TLS was not used at all. - added a link to the nodemailer "well-known services" module, to allow customers to see examples of other email service configurations - updated the Outlook config example to use the current nodemailer values - couple of other small tweaks

| Host:: Host name of the service provider. If you are using the <<action-settings, `xpack.actions.allowedHosts`>> setting, make sure this hostname is added to the allowed hosts. | ||
| Port:: The port to connect to on the service provider. | ||
| Secure:: If true the connection will use TLS when connecting to the service provider. See https://nodemailer.com/smtp/#tls-options[nodemailer TLS documentation] for more information. | ||
| Secure:: If true the connection will use TLS when connecting to the service provider. See https://nodemailer.com/smtp/#tls-options[nodemailer TLS documentation] for more information. If not true, the connection will initially connect over TCP, then attempt to switch to TLS via the SMTP STARTTLS command. |

| For other email servers, you can check the list of well-known services that Nodemailer supports in the JSON file https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer/blob/master/lib/well-known/services.json[well-known/services.json]. The properties of the objects in those files - `host`, `port`, and `secure` - correspond to the same email action configuration properties. A missing `secure` property in the "well-known/services.json" file is considered `false`. Generally, `port: 465` uses `secure: true`, and `port: 25` and `port: 587` use `secure: false`. |
