Doubts on Sending E-Mail

Hi All,
I have just started with KM. I was able to create a folder and upload a file. Also, I was able to send e-mail for tht uploaded file.
I was earlier trying to develop an application in Web Dynpro for sending mail. However, over there I got the foll. exception
MessagingException javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed; nested exception is: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
I am wondering if SMTP was not configured for Web Dynpro application then how am I able to send mail thru KM.
Please clarify.
Regards
Nikhil Bansal

Hi,
You should configure SMTP mail server then only u can send a mail through KM
Steps
System Admin - System Config - Collaboration - Groupware Transports - Mail Transport - JavaMail Transport - SMTP Server.
System Admin - System Config - KM - CM - Utilities - Channels - E-Mail Channel - Server for all affected channel entries.
System Admin - System Config - UWL & Workflow - Workflow - Mail - Mail - SMTP Host

Send a mail if no file in Sender File Adapter

Hello guys,
I have one doubt. I have a sender File adapter with FTP transfer protocol. I want to pull the file every 24 hours. If the file does not exist, there is any way to have an error and send a mail to the client?
Is a requierement to do one interface, they want that XI sends a mail if no file is encounteref in the server when XI goes to pull the file. Is this possible?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavi.

Hi,
Refer to following link
Read Excel instead of XML through FileAdapter
This has good example of developing module. Only code is available. For further help you can look in Help.sap for crating module they also provide sample code.
No need to call alert from module . go upto 24 hars if no file is received set your own structure.
Give condition in receiver detrmination to send mail if file is not picked.
revert back for any clearity.
Thanks

When trying to send a mail, selecting attachement fails with no error.

I imported lots of folders form Kmail (KDE3.5/ trinity) on a previous version (don't remember which one) of Thunderbird.
All worked fine. (I was able to send a variaty of files in email attachements (.xls, .zip, .txt and also files with no extension with no trouble)
Somewhen two weeks ago I updated Thunderbird and it would not allow me to attach files to a mail I want to send.
This means: --click on the button to send a new mail.
--typing a email adress
--typing a subject
--typing 'hello' into the text field
--clicking the button to attach a file
--selecting a text file, picture, .zip, binary and click 'open' in the file selector
== nothing changes in the email window to show that a file has been attached and also on sending the mail the receiver does not receive a mail.
reverting to older version of thunderbird does not seem possible as it appears that there is no link to older packages on thunderbird downlaod site?
where did I go wrong?

I doubt it's a version problem. But I don't run Linux any more.
Old versions can be found here:

Weird problem-w/ aol mail,i can recieve and reply,but can not send new mail

everything is set up, i read the instructions on that site to help me set it up, im recieving mail, and i can even reply, but when i try to send new mail it rejects the smtp. outgoing mail server...any suggestions?

Does resetting include deleting and recreating the AOL SMTP server?
Deleting an SMTP server requires selecting Edit Server List from the SMTP server selection pop-up menu.
ISP is short for Internet Service Provider. Are you using AOL as your ISP for connecting to the internet?
Unless AOL is used as your ISP, your ISP may have made recent changes regarding the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network. Most, if not all ISPs have restrictions regarding the use of SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25. Using Port 587 usually resolves any such restrictions but some ISPs block the use of all SMTP servers outside of their network regardless. These restriction are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent or reduce spam eminating from the ISP's domain.
Since you have switched back and forth between every option available, I suggest deleting and recreating AOL's SMTP server first (if you haven't already done so) and if this didn't work, deleting and recreating this AOL account in Mail.
If neither works and AOL is not your ISP used for connecting to the internet and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP, try selecting/using your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your AOL account.
If this works, I would contact your ISP's technical support to inquire about any recent changes implemented regarding the use of SMTP servers outside of their network or put in another way, using an SMTP server that is not provided by your ISP.
The last resort is targeting the Mail.app preference file which stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences.
I try to avoid saying never in regards to computers but I doubt your hard drive replacement has anything to do with this.

Error while sending a mail using UTP_MAIL package in Oracle 10g

Hi,
We are using UTP_MAIL package to send a mail from Oracle 10g.We have follwed the following steps ...
SQL> connect sys/password as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlmail.sql
Package created.
Synonym created.
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME /rdbms/admin/prvtmail.plb
Package body created.
SQL > alter system set smtp_out_server = '<mail_server_ip:25>' scope =spfile;
System altered..
Now we try the code
begin
utl_mail.send(
sender => 'sender's mail',
recipients => 'receiver mail',
CC => 'optional',
subject => 'Testing utl_mail',
message => 'Test Mail'
end;
But we get the following error...
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29278: SMTP transient error: 421 Service not available
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 21
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 97
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 139
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_MAIL", line 405
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_MAIL", line 594
ORA-06512: at line 2
We also tried connecting to the mail server through telnet .But it is not getting connected..
Please help us to solve the issue.

From your own posting you may have the clue, if you try to access your mail server through telnet and it is not successful, it means the service is down or there are networking issues.
On pre 10gR2 versions there was a bug 4083461.8. It could affect you if you are on 10gR1
"Bug 4083461 - UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION in shared server fails with ORA-29278 Doc ID: Note:4083461.8"
This was fixed on 10gR2 base and on 9.2.0.8.0

Need to send a mail back to the user in Sender Mail adapter Scenario

Hi all,
I have a scenario where the user fills the Price form or the Article form (which is a Adobe Form).When the user clicks on the "submit" button,the form is converted into xml , gets attached to the mail and sent to PI.
Now the user sometimes attaches the pdf directly instead of submitting the form. This results in the mail being sent
with pdf as attachment.
Now my requirement is to send a mail back to the user asking them to send an xml instead of a pdf.
How can this be done ?
Kindly let me know friends.
Quick Response is appreciated.

hi Sanjay,
Have a look on Michal's blog, it's for JMS, but it works for others: [PI/XI: Quick tip: Preserving attributes of XI messages via MultipartHeaderBean|PI/XI: Quick tip: Preserving attributes of XI messages via MultipartHeaderBean]

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

If I click on an e-mail address link in a web page instead of a blank message opening I always get a pop up screen with a log-in for googlemail. I do not have and do not want a googlemail account. I just want to be able to send e-mails using Outlook.

OUtlook was already set as the mail client for FF, and is my operating system (XP)'s default mail programme. therefore problem not solved at all. what I get whenever I follow a link in a webpage to send an e-mail is a little pop up window asking me to sign in to gmail or open an account. any other suggestions?

E72- Unable to send e-mail from work mailbox

I am unable to send e-mails from my work e-mail through my E72 although it receives perfectly. I have been in contact with Nokia via e-mail for the last 2 weeks and they have sent several suggestions to solve the issue but nothing is working. I have set-up my work e-mail on my husbands Blackberry with the same settings and can receive and send perfectly. From that I conclude there is no issue with the settings I have or my work e-mail but with
Nokia!! The latest 'help' I have received was to download a patch but I have no idea how to do this and get it onto my phone. So far Nokia have not replied to me.
Any suggestions how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated

If you're using a much older firmware, updating the phone would be a good idea. Find the Software Updates section of nokia.com and type your phone model. If you can't do an over-the-air update, download and install either the OVI Suite or the standalone Software Updater. This may hard reset the phone, so back up anything important with OVI Suite first.
Ignoring firmware for now, IMAP and URL's are like apples and oranges. If you work for a small company, the server may always be called " mail.mycompany.com", but IMAP will never use an HTTP or HTTPS prefix. URL's are typically associated with Microsoft Exchange servers. Within the email program, check Options -> Settings -> Mailbox settings -> Mailbox settings -> Advanced mailbox settings. Are "Outgoing email settings" set to something like
User authentication: Same as for incoming
Outgoing mail server: <compare to the setting for the Incoming server name; in a small company this will likely be the same>
Since you're getting far enough for the mail sever to reject your connection, the other settings should be fine as-is.
It does look like an authentication issue, so I'd say you're either hitting the wrong server or there's a bad username or password in there somewhere. If the Blackberry works with an IMAP connection, then you should be using the same server name(s), and user/password.
If all else fails, you can always try removing and readding the mailbox completely. Choose Menu -> Applications -> Email -> Settings -> <highlight your work account> -> Options -> Remove mailbox. And then set it up from scratch. I hope that helps a little!

URL link in send e-mail pl/sql procedure

I have a send e-mail procedure. I am trying to enclose in the body of the message a URL link with parameters from a form, but it is only taking part of it.
for example http://my.link&pid='||pid||'&uid'||uid
it only takes http://my.link
What is the way to do it successfuly?
Thanks,

Thanks for your replies. I still did not get it to work. For example if I stick to your solution with :
urlname := 'my.link?pid='||pid||'&uid='||uid;
where should I stick the try this?
I am using a variable called message.
'message: ' 'click on the following link' ||CRLF || urlname
This is is not working. Any clues? Thanks a lot. Jeanne

Yes .. change the doc_type.

Sending external mail using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1

When i use this RFC by appending the internal table receiver with receiver: sapuser name and rec_type B it triggers mail to the sap user login .But when i give external email address for receiver with rec_type 'U' it is not triggering any mail.Can anyone please tell me how to use this RFC in sending external mails??

I went back and you are right "INT" was not the REC_TYPE it was the COM_TYPE.
Sorry for any confusion caused.
However,
I suggest 2 more tests and then I give up and can not think about anything else.
Try:
#1
REC_TYPE = 'X'.
if it does not work.
#2
REC_TYPE = 'R'.
Hope that will do the trick. I was trying a lot when I had to get that working some time ago.
And surely the other colleagues point to something which must be setup as well. Transaction SCOT the SMTP settings.
Furthermore there could be another issue. I remember that I worked at a client who had turned off the send settings on their email server. So SAP finished everything and handed the emails on to a mail server. The mail server had a setting to block any emails from the development environment.
So that might be another cause of your issue.

I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on share then send via mail then on Word and an email would appear with my word doc attached. Now the email does not come up. Why?

It's difficult to do more than guess when you don't say what version of OS X or Pages you're running, but if you're on the latest, have you tried the Share menu -> Send via Mail command?
If that doesn't help, you may have better luck if you ask in the Pages forum:
Pages
When you repost, be sure to include full details about your versions so that people know what it is you're working with.
