E-Mail Tracking-System

Hi,
I have an idea to create an E-Mail Tracking-System to analyze how many E-Mails are opened which have been send before.
Without APEX I would display a very small image in the e-mail, which would only be displayed when the e-mail is opened. Then I have to look how often this image have been load from the server.
That is not so easy to report and I think it would be easier if I can use APEX.
But I don`t know how to recognize with APEX whether an e-mail is opened or not? Can do this with an image too and would it be displayed in an APEX-View or something like that?
I would be very glad for any help on this topic.
Thanks,
Tim

Guys,
I think the images that the original author is talking about inserting into the sent newsletter is what's called a "webbug", an HTML reference to a tiny image file that resides on his HTTP server. Every time the reader opens the email with the image reference, assuming the email client will automatically display remote images (which Thunderbird doesn't), the HTTP server registers the reader's IP address.
It's been around for years and personally I think it falls somewhere between legitimate marketing and spam, depending on how it's used. I'm not a real fan, frankly.
But his technical problem is he doesn't know how to read the HTTP server's hit log from Oracle. I also think he doesn't understand enough about Apex to distinguish between Oracle and his HTTP server log.
I don't know how to read the log that tracks the "hits" either. I don't think the question is really an Apex one, but more generic.
Just trying to clarify the need,
Stew

Mail Delivery System Errors and Securing/Protecting agains spam

How this started:
Over the past couple of days to approx a week, I have seen a massive influx of Spam on our server. Spam coming in on random ex employee names that no longer work for the company.
Previous to the spam, I turned on "forward un-deliverable mail to" and set to me. The CEO was missing emails because people were not spelling his name correctly. I have actually been able tyo catch a lot of employee emails some important, others not.
In trying to make the mail server more secure, one of the features I tried to turn on was SMTP Client Restrictions, Which broke SMTP for my users. Obviously the error is mine and I need to do more research, but love some feedback on what needs to be set on the server and clients for SMTP client restrictions to work.
I know THE HOFF (mr hoffman) had information at some point to help users secure postfix, can anyone point me in the right direction, as well as any tips here on how to stop the influx of spam?

I am not certain what you mean by immediately removing the 192.1.1.10 and 192.1.1.11, AIX servers that I use to relay admin emails to an IT address here. Some sort of a gateway implemented on a pair of IBM boxes, I might presume.
192.1.1.0/24 is in a public address space that you don't have assigned (unless you're BBN). If that IP routing leaks out, then some folks can get cranky. Or should you eventially need to contact hosts within the address space of the "real" occupants of 192.1.1.0/24, routing won't necessarilt play nice. There may well be a static IP route here, depending on the details of the router configuration, as otherwise that IP traffic would be going to BBN and not to those servers. The Internet works because folks play by the rules, when working with IP routing and DNS services. And if your predecessor used this address space (and not the likely 192.168.0.0/16 block), I'd look around to see if there were other unusual network configuration choices.
TCP port 25 is the server-to-server mail port. That's the main connection used among mail servers. Blocking that has the effect that you've discovered.
It's the clients that can also use that port that need to be relocated off the port, as the clients don't have the reverse DNS and related tests that would allow them access to that port, with various common server security configurations.
Open TCP 587 at the firewall and ensure that this port is active at the mail server host, as a starting point. You can test that with (among other tools) with a remote "telnet your.mail.server.host.name 587" command or similar; that's a primitive (but effective) (common) port test.
With the Apple Mail client, make sure the SMTP server is configured to use the default SMTP ports. Mail > Preferences > Account > Account Information > Edit SMTP Server > select the target SMTP server > Advanced > select "use the default ports (25, 465, 587)" and consider using SSL and authentication. (Apple Mail tries a few ports automatically, so the set-up can be different than other clients.)
I don't have enough space here for a full write-up on how mail or IP works, and setting up an arbitrary mail client or an IP network can be an adventure; I assumed the Apple mail client in the above. See the user collaboration services disscussion of mail services in the Mac OS X Server Advanced Administration manual as some background. (And if this stuff all looks a little cryptic, that's understandable, and you might want to consider getting some set-up help or consider moving to hosted mail services and making this stuff somebody else's problem.)

HT2500 Using Mail in System X 5.8 It will not accept attachments (photos, pdf files)

Using Mail in System X 5.8 It will not accept attachments (photos, pdf files) to send. It was working just fine and after some period of non-use it just stopped accepting attachments to send. The system is all up to date. And, I have the same problem on two different Imacs.

I had exactly the same problem as arthur1234. I followed his own suggested fix in his post of 10/12/2012 at 9:31 AM.
His fix worked perfectly. Attachments are now being sent and received as they have been for the last 10 years or so.

Schedule Send Execl Report by E-mail to System User

Hello:
I need to schedule send Excel Report by E-mail to system user internet address. If only define the job by Reprot Agent? Do we have other method?
Hope this clear!Can you give some advice?
Regards&Thanks
zagory

Hi zagory,
i forgot one tech issue to be setup: The internet Mail gateway needs to be setup if you want to send proper e-mails.
presupposed all tech. issues are solved, I agree with my colleague. Setup is fairly easy to handle, as soon as you know the customers demands like
- who is allowed to send
- who will do it in the future
- who are the recipients
- when should the precalc. take place/when should the Workbook be executed (Timepoints, after dataupdate ...)
for authorisations check out object: s_rs_bcs.
also make sure that the executor has permissions for the backgroud user (serach in TRC SU21, i can not remember.)
if all is known = approx. 2-3 days until go live, depending on the complexity of the existing scheduling and the authorisation concept.
Not to mention the training for all that and the tchnical setup.

cheers

Your email problems may or may not be related. A more complete explanation of the problem would help.

Document for configuring Early watch alerts And issue tracking system

Hello Experts,
Iam on SAP Solution Manager 4.0 and need step wise step procedure document for configuring Early watch alerts and Issue tracking system in solman 4.0 . I hv checked Help site and other standard config docs by SAP but getting confused and things are not working ,so help shall be appreciated.
My Email id is [email protected] .
Requested to revert at earliest as iam in urgent need of it .Points guaranteed.
Thanks and Regards,
Somya

Hi Somya,
setting up EWA is explained in Application help of SAP Solution Manager.
It would be helpful to know, what you have already done and what is causing problems for you.
Prerequisite to process EWA is to configure all steps described in the Basic Settings of SAP Solution Manager Configuration guide (tx SPRO).
The configuration of Issue Tracking is also described in the IMG (Basically, it's required to activate a BC Set).
Path in IMG: Basic Settings -> Standard Configuration of Basic Settings -> Solution Manager -> Basic BC-Sets for Configuration -> Activate Issue Tracking BC Set
Access the configuration guide:
- run transaction SPRO
- choose SAP Reference IMG
- expand tree SAP Solution Manager -> Configuration -> Basic Settings
- follow the steps under
"Wizard-based Initial Configuration of Basic Settings", if your SolMan system has not been yet configured or
"Standard Configuration of Basic Settings", if you have done already some configuration.
Best regards,
Ruediger Stoecker

Hi Kartik
For this you have to maintain the list of process and email note faction when process chain failed in transaction code RSPCM in BW system
and also you can refer the SDN inks

Sender receiving endless mail delivery system notifications

For the past 25 hours (or so) a friend has been receiving REPEATED messages from Mail Delivery System saying:
"This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. Delivery to the following recipeints is still under way after 25.6 hour(s.): [email protected] Will keep trying and contact you if the message can't be delivered permanently."
How can I/she stop these? She eventually resent the message and all is well, but that original notification regarding the original message is still out there and driving her crazy. DOZENS of these things are being sent by Mail.

How can I/she stop these?
You can't. Eventually they'll time out and stop. Meanwhile you can create a Mail rule to delete the notices automatically.

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Cannot open mail or system preferences they both have a ? mark over them any help

can you help me on opening my mac book i have found a question mark over my mail and system preferences and i cannot open them

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Project Contract Delivery Tracking System : Action Button : Action List LOV

I have a requirement to add a new entry in the "Action List" LOV, when clicked on the "Action" button on the Delivery Tracking System. I searched and found there is a set-up which says
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/A60725_05/html/comnls/us/pa/pathhlp.htm
Control Actions is available Setup > Activity Management Gateway > Control Actions . But this link doesn't mention which responsibility.
Can anyone share if we can do this change .
Thanks
Sreedhar

Hi Sreedhar,
There is a Standard Menu "OKE-Contract Organizer Actions" holding the actions possible in the Organizer. I think the Actions are controlled by Projects Role Types associated. But I have not tried adding new actions to the list. I suggest please check the code for form 'OKEKDORG.fmb' to check the LOV Rule.

Bug Tracking System?

Has anyone seen or written a bug tracking system that can be deployed in 9ias.
We would like to implement some type of a system where our business partners can
log issues with our portal (obviously this request came from a project manager)

Hi,
You can develop this using Portal Forms. Something like a suggestion form, where you can have the priority and descrption
of problem. Internally you can generate a bug no and store the userid logging the problem. You can publish this form as
a portlet on a page and create portal report on this table. You can publish this report as well on the page.
Thanks,
Sharmila

TRACK SYSTEM IDLE TIME

Hii Guys,
I am working on a client server architecture based project named "ATTENDANCE TRACKING SYSTEM".
For this, I need a java program that can run in background(without any interface) and track system idle time on client machine.
The idle time is the time elapsed since last key was pressed or since last time mouse was moved(whichever is later).
So that, i can use the output of that program to track the idle time of the client machine.
I searched a lot, but everywhere i found to use JNI. But i dont know anything yet about JNI.
Please help me out...

Thanxx 4 ur reply Mr. Jschell

The requirement is stupid.
And given that the requirement is not negotiable you might want to review the contract/requirements before going further. Because using JNI is not using java. So what makes you think that that doesn't break the contract?

On Internet, i found that doing this task purely in JAVA is not possible and i will have to do it using JNI and C++.
But i dont know how to use JNI and moreover i could not find coding for the same on Internet.
Secondly, i m not aware of the functions in Windows API that can help me out in this regard....
Go to a windows site and ask about what API one would use to monitor idle time. Do NOT mention java. Just ask about the windows API.

Receiving "Mail Delivery System" when Email is sent...why?

Every time I send an email via my mac mail, I always get a Mail Delivery System email containing different content such as: [Return Code 554] sid: d61F1m00P408TaZ01 or [Return Code 550] sid: d61F1m00P408TaZ01. It was also brought to my attention that those receiving my emails are getting them but they are also getting an extra email with a crazy unknown link. Help! How do I correct this?
