Send a Failure Notification with a Send Mail Task

Declares an SMTP connection manager named 'SmtpServerConnection' (with SSL on) and a 'FailureNotifier' package whose 'SendMail' task uses it. The task is configured with high priority, a fixed from/to address pair, a subject, and a 'DirectInput' body string. Drop this task into the 'OnError' event handler of another package (or chain it after a failing task with a failure precedence constraint) so any failure produces an immediate email. Replace 'smtp.yourcompany.com' and the From/To addresses with your own values before deploying.
