Mail Settings are configured in the Oracle Analytics Cloud Console for an Office 365 Government GCC mail server.  For example:

                       SMTP Server: smtp.office365.us
                                      Port: 587
  Display Name of sender: Sent from OAC
E-mail address of sender: <name>@<domain>

                           Username: <name>@<domain>
