Developing a Email Cleint..Specfiying the SMTP Server

Hello all,
I am trying to develop an email client, for the sole purpose of sending mail(not reading).. That means i have to implement the SMTP part.. I have gone through the javamail api, but it requires a SMTP server to which the mail is sent...
The problem is that i dont have an smtp server to specify.. Can some one please help me so that i can find some free smtp server (code, or server address) which i can use to send the mail..
Thanks in advance

Where are the SMTP Server services, please?

Hello
Not sure this is the correct forum but can't see anything else.
I use Visual Studio with IIS Express server. I wish to set up and configure the SMTP services so that I can test STMP email scripts.
The SMTP server has to be set up from the Control Panel of my Win 7 PC (Windows Features), under Internet Information Services, but all I can see is this:
Windows Features
There is no reference to SMTP services. Likewise, if I go to Internet Information Services Manager (right-click on Computer and choose Manage), I cannot see SMTP Services, either:
Manager
Thank you for any advice. Please note that I do not have the Windows 7 installation CD (the Packard Bell PC I have came with Windows already installed).
Thank you.

Hi bluenose_ted,
Thank you for visiting the MSDN forum. I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum about this issue, since this forum is to discuss and ask questions about the setup and deployment of .NET Framework.I am moving your question to the moderator forum ("Where

Email Enabled lists - where to run the SMTP server? On APP server or on Exchange Server? Or somewhere else?

Hi there,
I need to setup EMail Enabled lists in SharePoint 2010 site. Where do I need to run the SMTP server? On APP server or on Exchange Server? Or somewhere else?
Thank you so much.

The SMTP service cannot run on the Exchange server. You can run it on a SharePoint server, or a stand alone server and share out the drop directory over SMB.

the smtp server is the property of the mail provider and running in their server room
talk to them
and make sure the ports required by the mail providers smtp server are not blocked by your firewall or by your router or by your isp

I changed my password on my aol account but it did not change on the SMTP server which is preventing me from answering email. Help

I changed my aol password but the SMTP server password did not change so I can't send mail. How can I change the SMTP password?

Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select the account, then tap the account on the popup that you should get, and then tap on the SMTP server name

Generating a PDF and then Email it from the report server.....

All,
This is my first post on this forum and I have the following question.....
Please note I am not a DB expert nor a reporting expert but I have done my fair share of reporting using Oracle DB with Oracle Reports or Hyperion.
I have a report that will be posted to the report server that a user can go out and run at there convenience.
As a side note we have recently migrated our Database from ORACLE 8i to 10G and the report was created using Oracle ReportBuilder 10.1.
This report was also mimicked by a Oracle package and emailed out through I believe some PL SQL(?). This is a plain text report in the email.
As I recently did some big changes to the Original report they want this email report to match as well.
Well After looking at what they want in the email its basically the exact same thing as the version the user would see on the web. This seems like a waste of time for myself to edit this Package (For the email report - plaint text) and to have a oracle report available on the web server not to mention the DB dealing with the PLSQL..
So I am asking is there a way to set up Oracle reports to mail a generated PDF or a HTML results file out from the reporting server at a specified time?
If so how is this accomplished?
I see that in the help file in Report Builder that you can set rwbuilder.conf file with the SMTP server but how do I set the email address and the time to run the report.
Thanks for all the help,
Chris

Hello,
Maybe I am not understanding something but we have a reporting server where they basically select the report in a drop down web control and they fill in the necessary parameters and then the report is ran.
The web links refer to report builder and how to email from it. I am in a web environment that they select the report and its ran. Is this web form a standard product with Oracle for reporting?
I have seen how to do accomplish my task from the command line. Is this another way of accomplishing this task?
I think what I am also looking for is a confirmation that what I want to do is possible and that someone has accomplished this task before.
Thanks,
Chris

How to find out about the SMTP Server

Hi,
I have been trying to configure groupware in the portal - in particular I want to enable the sending of emails through the portal. I already have a how-to-guide that that seems to explain the steps quite well. However, it mentions that I need to know the SMTP Server of the email. Can you tell me how to find out about the SMTP Server? Where do I need to look for the name of it?
Thank you and regards,
Katharina

Hi Katharina,
you need the SMTP server of your company. This means you can't look for it in the portal, but have to ask the responsible person in your company.
Kind regards,
dominik

The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required.

try
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
mail.To.Add("[email protected]");
mail.Subject = "Test Mail..!!!!";
mail.Body = "mail with attachment";
System.Net.Mail.Attachment attachment;
attachment = new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(@"C:\Attachment.txt");
mail.Attachments.Add(attachment);
SmtpServer.Port = 587;
SmtpServer.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("userid", "Password");
SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;
SmtpServer.Send(mail);
Catch(Exception exception)
When i m run this part of code it throw an Ecxeption
Given Below is the Error..

try
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
mail.To.Add("[email protected]");
mail.Subject = "Test Mail..!!!!";

SmtpServer.Send(mail);
Catch(Exception exception)
Given Below is the Error.. The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required.
Solution:
The error might occur due to following cases.
case 1: when the password is wrong
case 2: when you try to login from some App
case 3: when you try to login from the domain other than your time zone/domain/computer (This
is the case in most of scenarios when sending mail from code)
There is a solution for each
solution for case 1: Enter the correct password.
Recomended: solution for case 2: go to
security settings at the following link https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and
enable less secure apps . So that you will be able to login from all apps.
solution 1 for case 3: (This might be helpful) you need to review the activity. but reviewing the activity will not be helpful due to latest security
standards the link will not be useful. So try the below case.
solution 2 for case 3: If you have hosted your code somewhere on production server and if you have access to the production server, than take remote
desktop connection to the production server and try to login once from the browser of the production server. This will add exception for login to google and you will be allowed to login from code.
But what if you don't have access to the production server. try
the solution 3
solution 3 for case 3: You have to enable
login from other timezone / ip for your google account.
to do this follow the link https://g.co/allowaccess and
allow access by clicking the continue button.
And that's it. Here you go. Now you will be able to login from any of the computer and by any means of app to your google account.

Can I change the smtp server with Yahoo push account?

My yahoo email account will send and receive over EDGE using the default yahoo mail settings. On my home Cox internet WiFi network I can retrieve messages but cannot send. When sending it says it was sent and makes the "swooshing" mail sent sound, but the message disappears. It does not appear in the "sent" folder or "drafts" folder either. No error message is returned.
I suspect this is related to Cox blocking the smtp server, but the iPhone does not allow me to change the smtp settings on the default yahoo account. Does anyone know how to do this? I can set it up manually for POP access, but then I'm flooded with spam.

No, you cannot change the SMTP server on the Yahoo push account.
Yahoo push only works if you configure your account using the Yahoo! Mail shortcut on the iPhone, and that shortcut does not allow for ANY customization.

We have our SMTP server under port number 141 and we should add username and password. but inside SharePoint 2013, I can only define the SMTP server name , from email, reply-to . But there are not fields to define the port number , the username and password.
So can anyone advice from where I can define the port number and other field settings for the SMTP server ?
Thanks

Probe from the SMTP server

When sending a message using SMTP server how to find the appropriate SMTP server given the e-mail address ?
for example if I try to send an e-mail to this address
[email protected]
How do I find the name of the smtp server associated with the "someserver.com". I tried using
smtp.someserver.com but it did not work for all servers.

Just to add to this, after you query the DNS server, it may return you a whole set of ip addresses with priorities. You must start with the highest priority and go ahead.

Where do you put the SMTP Server Name ?

I am trying to set up the email address of the SNMP.
i can set up the Server SNMP Agents and the trap destinations, but can't find where to specifiy the SMTP Server Name i.e our company email address name [email protected]
I looked in security realms can't find it.
Any ideas

Hi,
Here is sample setup for AIX machine.
SETUP:
GC agent installed in AGENT_ORACLE_HOME
RDBMS installed in RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME
Database and listener up and running, monitored by Grid Control,
this implies that the AGENT_ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml contains the correct credentials for the database.
The listener name given ion RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora is identical to the name of that listener target in Grid Control.
AGENT_ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora must exist.
SETUP steps needed for operating system AIX:
A. AIX is using its native snmp deamon pointing to the snmpdv3 deamon (this is the default on AIX5L):
[hostname]/root> ls -l /usr/sbin/snmpd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 9 Jul 24 2009 /usr/sbin/snmpd@ -> snmpdv3ne*
B. The script AGENT_ORACLE_HOME/network/snmp/peer/start_peer has needs to be corrected on AIX :
1. the locations of "whoami" needs to be corrected from "/usr/ucb/whoami" to "/bin/whoami"
2. the command starting the os snmp deamon must be changed to
$SNMPD $SNMPD_OPTIONS -p $NEW_SNMPD_PORT >snmpd.out 2>&1 &
Alternatively add two blocks for operating system AIX:
elif [ "$uname" = "AIX" ] ; then
USERID=`/bin/whoami`
SNMPD=/usr/sbin/snmpd
SNMPD_CONFIG=/etc/snmpdv3.conf
SNMPD_OPTIONS=""
BP="AIX"
TRPCMD="exit 1"
ENCAP_OPT="-s 1160"
elif [ "$uname" = "AIX" ]
then
echo "Starting $SNMPD ..."
echo "$SNMPD $SNMPD_OPTIONS -p $NEW_SNMPD_PORT >snmpd.out 2>&1 &"
$SNMPD $SNMPD_OPTIONS -p $NEW_SNMPD_PORT >snmpd.out 2>&1 &
Starting up emsubagent
None of the following processes must be upp and running: snmpd, emsubagent, master_peer, encaps_peer
The following ports must not be allocated: snmp, smux, 161, 1161, 199
run as root:
ORACLE_HOME= <full path to the AGENT_ORACLE_HOME>
export ORACLE_HOME
$ORACLE_HOME/network/snmp/peer/start_peer -a
This must start the following processes as root: master_peer, encaps_peer, snmpd
As agent ORACLE_HOME owner run
AGENT_ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start subagent
The snmp_*.ora files needs to be copied from AGENT_ORACLE_HOME/network/admin to RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
Restart the listener, query the listener status
"RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl status <listener_name>" must show: SNMP ON

Kal

VD-4280: The SMTP server cound not be connected to

I am trying to configure Email Notifications through OMS. When I hit the test button I get follwing message "VD-4280: The SMTP server cound not be connected to". I have given the correct IP address of our mail server for smtp Mail Gateway option. I have even added "OMS.VDM.SMTP.LINESEPARATOR=CRLF
" in omsconfig.properties file as advised by metalink note 302828.1 but still i am unable to get rid of the above message.

From the SQL*Plus prompt type "host" and go to an operating system terminal window. Can you ping the mail server?
Did you set the SMTP_OUT_SERVER = <port_number> initialization parameter?
Did you identify the mail server? For example:
ALTER SYSTEM SET smtp_out_server = 'smtp.psoug.org' SCOPE=BOTH;
Hopefully one of these will help.

HT2480 In the server domain; Do I use the smtp server OR the incoming mail server?

I am trying to verify my business mail on my iphone and I have several troubles thus I would like to ask for you help:
1) its a "webmail.ath.hcmr.gr" mail, so it is a "Microsoft Exchange" mail type? Correct?
2) in the server field: what do i add? The incoming mail server or the smtp server?
Thanks

How to solve the SMTP server issue.

I did the migration from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 , the workflow emails are sent perfectly in SharePoint 2010 but when i configure the SharePoint 2013 the following error has occurred.
Error : The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Please let me know if you aware of this.
-Thanks,
Swapnil

That's pretty much all the settings you need to do on the SharePoint side. Does the SMTP server that you are pointing to allow incoming emails from your SharePoint server IP Address? It might only allow relay services to specific IP ranges.
Or maybe you have a firewall that is blocking it?
