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.

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

Cannot edit the smtp server list in Mail (Yosemite)

I am trying to edit the smtp server list in Mail. I am running Yosemite on my MacBook Pro and always get this message.
"The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved. Two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings. Resolve the conflicts and try again."
There are no alert icons displayed!!! And I can not delete a server.
I need to change some smtp-settings and cannot edit anything.
Any ideas?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and try to recreate the account settings. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Duplicates in email enabled list

Greetz!
We have an email enabled list that creates 2 entries each time it gets an email. I have double checked that the drop folder has the correct permissions setup and that no workflows have a hand in this. There is only one timer job defined as well.
Any ideas on why this might be happening or on how I can go about testing.
I'm on SP2013 Enterprise in a single box install (database on a separate box).
Thanks!
Love them all...regardless. - Buddha

Hi KansasCoder,
According to your description, my understanding is that when receiving mail, it will create 2 list items in the email enabled list.
Did you use Timer Job achieve it ? If yes, I suggest you can track if you have some logic code which related this issue in the timer job.
Here is a detailed article for your reference:

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.

Email enabled lists/libraries in SharePoint Office 365

very specific question about SharePoint in Office 365. Can you have email enabled lists? That is, a SharePoint list or document library with an email address that enables incoming email. This is a feature in on-premise SharePoint. I
need to know if it is available in Office 365 and under which plans.

Command to list all email aliases /groups and members on the mail server.

Hi,
We are using SJS MEssaging server 6.2 .
Which is the command to use to list all email aliases/groups and members on the mail server.
Thanks,

You can use the "commadmin group search" command to list the ldap groups (if you have Delegated Administration installed/configured), otherwise you can use a directory ldapsearch to find the groups.

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

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..

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.

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

How to setup the SMTP server in Oracle Apps? Is it mandatory to keep the SMTP server on the same host where the Oracle data base is installed? No, it is not mandatory. Also please note that the mails are sent out from concurrent manager mode. Not from the database node.

It depends on the operating system you are using. If you are using *nix then sendmail needs to be configured.
