Example: Unregister an SMTP server

Assume that you have an SMTP server, 10.0.0.121, and you want to unregister it. You get the {smtpId}: 1002.

A Python snippet that is similar to the following example can be used to unregister the SMTP server:

smtp_id = "1002"

requests.delete('https://' + spp_ipv4 + '/api/smtp/' + smtp_id,
    headers={...}, params="", data="", verify=...)

After you run the Python snippet, ensure that you get a response with the HTTP status of 204 (No Content) and that you no longer see the SMTP server 10.0.0.121. The response body is empty.
