Hi ,

We are using this configuration in elastic cloud for smtp :

xpack.notification.email.account:  
exchange\_account:  
profile: outlook  
email\_defaults:  
from:   
smtp:  
auth: true  
starttls.enable: true  
host: [smtp.office365.com](http://smtp.office365.com)  
port: 587  
user:

While saving I get the error below:

'xpack.notification.email.account.exchange\_account.profile': is not allowed

Please let us know what is missing.

We had added the email id in the whitelist from the metioned contact settings, but do we any thing like below to be mentioned in user overrides settings in ES in elastic cloud.:

`xpack.notification.email.html.sanitization`
