Guessing the SMTP server name.

If my ISP does not gives me the SMTP server address .
Is there any method to guess that address.
Please reply in detail because I am the beginner of JAVA
MAIL as well as JAVA.
Thank you very much.

The the IP address of the server and telnet onto port 25
i.e.
www.myisp.co.uk
nslookup myisp.co.uk
gives:
192.168.1.123
Then..
telnet 192.168.1.123 25
If you get a SMTP message thats the ISPs SMTP server.
They will prob not allow relays i.e. you to send mail using this server, but you should get a message saying 'relay not allowed' if this is the case.
They will have a range of IP addresses you you need to follow the MX records, they will lead you to the SMTP server of your ISP...
You can use
host -t mx demon.net
to get:
demon.net mail is handled (pri=50) by relay-2.mail.demon.net
demon.net mail is handled (pri=20) by internal.mail.demon.net
demon.net mail is handled (pri=50) by relay-1.mail.demon.net
Then use nslookup on relay-2.mail.demon.net to get the IP address if you want.
see http://partyvibe.com/flavour/ntools-exp.htm for tools to lookup IPs and MX records.
Hope this helps.

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

Can not specify the SMTP server port, username and password for my SharePoint 2013 web application

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

i am no sure about user name and password. i never saw that option.
check this guide:

thanks for the reply, but in our case the SMTP is a separate server , and to connect to it i need to define the ; server IP /Name , port number, username & password. but in SharePoint there is no option to define the port number , and the links you
provide are regarding configuring SMTP server, while we already have an SMTP server but i need to connect SP with it . can you advice please?

SMTP Server Name

Good Morning:
I am installing Mid Tier of OCS. Could you guys give more information about the SMTP Server Name asked during installation: guidelines says: "SMTP server name for Subscriber Administrator and Users access thier passwords and log into Oracle Files". Should be this Server name the same host in wich I am installing MNidTier, or ?
Thanks in advance for any explanation.

Hi!
This is asked during the files configuration. The files component will send out an email to the admin when users are synchronized and when other issues arise in the files environment. The mail server could be the one you just installed but you might choose a different one as well.

Collaboration Server - changing the SMTP server info

We have installed the collab server. However the SMTP server info specified during the install, was incorrect. I need to change the SMTP server name. Is this configurable through any config file setting or do I need to re-install collab erver.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Vanita

Vanita -
What version of Collab are you using? The SMTP notification settings are all accessible without re-installing. I am looking at a 3.0 Collab install and the settings are all in the plumtree\ptnotification\3.0\settings\config\config.xml file.
Hope this helps.

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

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.

Can't send mail, get message: the smtp server rejected the password. I tried lock and unlock keychain. I tried unlock captcha. Gmail works okay, it is Mail that does not. Help!! :(

Hi
You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password. Some do, but many do not. When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
In the Account Information tab put the server name
In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
Good luck

How to find the smtp server on a linux box?

Hello,
I am trying to set up Notification Methods in OEM and I need to know the SMTP server and port. Which command can I use on Linux to find this information? Thank you in advance.

Netstat is not necessarily the right tool for this task.
Sorry, but "netstat -a | grep 25" will not be useful. For example:
netstat -a | grep 25
unix 2      [ ]         DGRAM                    128925
unix 3      [ ]         STREAM     CONNECTED     11825 Better grep for "smtp". For example:
netstat -a | grep smtp
tcp        0      0 vm015.example.com:smtp      *:*                         LISTEN
lsof is a better tool, but requires "root" or superuser privileges. For instance:
lsof -i :smtp
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
sendmail 3098 root    4u IPv4 13077       TCP vm015.example.com:smtp (LISTEN)Keep in mind however that processing and routing email in is usually a more complex task and involves either to know firewall and mail gateway configurations, or ask your mail administrator. The local mail server may not be permitted to relay email to the company wide smtp gateway depending on routing policies.

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