HTTP Submit to SMTP Server (to send completed PDF copy) - possible?

I've read various blogs re: HTTP Submit and the requirements of a web service, servlet, jsp, etc. I was wondering if was possible to setup an HTTP submit button to point to a mail server to send a copy of a completed form to a specific email address? So basically, making use of the SMTP protocol.
Instead of relying on the form user's email client (or internet email service) to send the email containing the completed PDF form, the HTTP submit button will point to a SMTP URL (of some sorts) that has been set up with the recipient’s credentials. The SMTP server would just relay the file to a designated email address of the recipient’s choosing. Not sure if SMTP’s severs will allow this due to the potential of sending SPAM from their server.
I know all of this is possible via making the form Reader Enabled and setting up a regular email submit button, but the problem is the user must use an email client, or log into their internet email account in order to submit the form. Was just wondering if there was simple workaround? Also, the problem with using POST is that only the data is posted, which means additional steps of re-combing it with a form copy is required.
So, is the SMTP “concept” even possible? Or, is this only possible via web service, response objects, etc.?
Thanks in advance.

Carmine,
to use SSL, you will need to first create/purchase an SSL certificate. This can be done in Server Admin -> "servername" -> Settings -> Certificates.
Next, simply set SMTP and/or IMAP to use SSL in Server Admin -> Mail -> Settings -> Advanced -> Security.

Alex
P.S. Buon Natale a Te.

How do I set up a mail server and SMTP server to send messages to other mail servers at mavericks

How do I set up a mail server and SMTP server to send messages to other mail servers at mavericks

You need to get the settings for your email from your email provider and enter them in Internet Accounts (System Preferences). Many of the common systems are already available, all you need is a password and an email address to set them up.

Submitting a PDF form --- save and send completed PDF document?

A small government site has a number of 'submittable' PDF
form documents
that they'd like me to include on the website. I am not very
familiar
with PDF forms in this way, and hope someone here can help
sort out a
few things...
Can a PDF form be submitted so that
a) the completed PDF doc is saved on the server (and renamed)
b) a printable , completed PDF (looks just like the one they
filled out,
with all their values saved in the input boxes) is emailed to
specific
address
c) the raw user data is saved to database (maybe a list of
fields in one
column of a db table, and a matching list of values in
another? this
would just be for backup in case the completed PDF did not
save
correctly to the server, or for later reference)
We've looked at the standard Acrobat 'submit via email' and
that won't
cut it... that method appears to simply trigger a 'mailto'
popup, with
the pdf as an attachment. Our system needs to be automated
via CFmail.
None of these would handle any 'sensitive' information, the
main
concern, from their part, is people being able to submit the
form and
have both the city office and the recipient get a copy that
prints just
as if they had hit 'print' when filling out the actual PDF.
Is all of this possible ??
if so... any tips appreciated!

Send completed PDF questionnaire to email.

Hello, we are running a research project and I want
people to access our internet site, download the PDF and then email it on to my gmail address at the click of a button. We are currently having alot of problems with this button. It does nothing in most versions of Adobe Reader. Any ideas what we are doing wrong? Please help.
This is the site.

Thankyou

When using e-mail submission for a PDF form from a web site, you need to be ready for problems. The submission generally is dependent on the client e-mail that you have no control over and may fail. This is the same reason that HTML forms with mailto submissions are not recommended.
You only need the data (you can import it to the form), so there is no need for the form to be saved that may be an issue if it is to be used by many submissions. If a large number of submissions you should not activate the Reader Rights since you would likely violate the license agreement (with 500 uses of the form).
I was going to check your button, but from the current computer I can not even open the form. You need to be careful about backward compatibility to prior versions when using forms. A lot of folks still use version 5 and 6. This machine has ver. 5. I might check it tomorrow from my office with ver. 8. Based on the other response, it appears you must have created the form in Designer and not Acrobat. Thus the recommendation to ask in the LiveCycle forum.

Sending OBIEE reports to non OBIEE users who are external to SMTP server

Hi All,
Hi Nazza,
Would you please help me how you diid send reports to non OBIEE users (external mails)?
I have configured the mail server and able to send reports to internal mails.
I have followed the following steps as mensioned in all blogs:
1. I created a d table called SA_SYSTEM_USER with default columns as mensioned.
2. Imported into Physical Layer
3. Created a view for Dummy table(Dual) with 'DUMMY' column.
4. Joined these tow tables DUMMY fact and SA_SYSTEM_USER as Dimension on DUMMY join Email.
5. Renamed columnsfor Presentaion table as mensioned in Bolgs.
6. Restarted the servers.
7. I noticed the system mail and system delivery profile created with only one email id(where are the other email ids from my SA_SYSTEM_USER table?)
8. But as written in blogs it never sends emails to external mails e.g. [email protected](this is existng mail in SA_SYSTEM_USER)
I am in need of urgent solution please some one help me out....
Thank you so much.....

Hi Deepak,
I followed every single step mensioned in the link you have given.
When save the iBot there was no response.
Would yu please clarify these doubts:
1. Do I need to have any specific settings on our SMTP mail server to send emails to external email-ids ????
2. I can see only one email account appears in My Account-->Active Profile. where I loaded 2 email accounts in my User table. Does it matters while I am choosing 'Specific Devices' on 'Destinations' Tab while deselecting 'Ineractive Dashboard' and 'Active Delivery Profile'?
3. By default the report is going to that mail account (internal only) if I select Destinations--> Active Delivery Profile.
4. As mmy requirement is to send emails to the users external to organization( external to our local SMTP server distribution list), I entered my Gmail account to test.
When save the iBot there was no response.
5. Do I need to set filter on specifc user on a conditional request to send e-mai to that usel??
6. Is there any solution for this please? Thsi is a must requiremnet.
My Thought (I am not sure) : 1. I create those user IDs on SMTP server
2. send reports to this user list.
3. From these user ID mail inbox of SMTP server if possible: forward those reports to external email IDs.
Thank you for your time

Mail 5 and SMTP server list

Hi,
ever since my upgrade to OS X Lion, I've noticed that the usage of the SMTP server list in Mail 5 seems to have changed. In the past, said list contained ALL configured SMTP servers. When configuring e-mail accounts (e.g. MobileMe) you could specify a default SMTP server from the server list and check a checkbox to ONLY use the specified server for outgoing mail of an account.
In Lion the meaning of this server list seems to have changed and I think I have discovered a bug that prevents me from using only a specific SMTP server with an account.
For accounts that are supported by Lion and listed under the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" Preference Pane, Mail 5 seems to always use a default server setting for outgoing mail. For GMail, this default server seems to use SSL. However, for MobileMe the default server is not the service's SSL SMTP server.
Sending mail on non-SSL ports is a problem for me for two reasons:
1.) Obviously this a security/privacy issue.
2.) I'm a student and when logged into my universities network I can't send e-mail on default e-mail ports (25). Our servers block any outgoing e-mail on ports other than SSL/TLS ports.
So far this shouldn't be a problem, because you should be able to overwrite Mail's default server by configuring another MobileMe SMTP server with SSL in the server list and checking the checkbox depicted in the below screenshot.
Unfortunately, whenever I select the SSL enabled MobileMe SMTP server, activate the checkbox and save my changes, Mail will revert to the the default SMTP server without SSL immediately. If I delete the default server from the server list, it pops up again after saving the changes. There seem to be just two ways of sending e-mail using a different server than the default one:
1. Don't check the checkbox and specify the SMTP server for each e-mail you want to send.
2. Send using the default server. If sending the mail fails (because I am in my university's network), select the SSL SMTP server in the trouble-shooting popup.
Option one is annoying. Option two still bears the security/privacy problem and is annoying, because it takes ages for Mail to accept that a server does not seem to work.
There seems to be no way of fixing this behavior and I have it on both iMac and my Macbook Air. Is this a bug? Do you have any suggestions for a fix?
Thanks a lot,
Felix

Felix,
I agree, I think it is a bug. My wife is experiencing the exact same issue on her MacBook after upgrading to Lion.
I submitted Mail feedback tonight to Apple. I hope they get this fixed pronto. My wife prefers Mail to the web interface or using her iPhone for mail. Thanks for explaining the issue.

Mail IMAP from Gmail - smtp server does not work.

I have a question about the inner-workings of Gmail IMAP as it relates to sending mail on an outgoing smtp server. When I'm at school (high school), *I can only receive mail; I cannot send it*. I talked to my computer science teacher and he said the school restricts outgoing messages because apparently people can use the school's smtp server to send spam...or something along those lines. Anyway, connecting to Gmail directly works fine, but I also had a nice setup on some shared computers for other students (who are not computer-savvy) who needed to access a single email address. Is there a way around this (albeit minor) inconvenience? Can I set up Mail preferences to use a different port or something in order to avoid the smtp restriction? Not that big of a deal, but still somewhat perturbing (and I will go to great lengths to fix it lol). Tell me if this is doable/if you need more info.
Thanks!

Howto access smtp server on-the-go

Typically, I use outgoing.verizon.net as my smtp server for sending mail with my FIOS email address. Is there another server/port I can use to send mail from my verizon account when I'm away from home?

You're meant to use the outgoing mail server supplied by the ISP of the machine you are using. Using the Verizon outgoing server may work but typically will get rejected for "relaying". You can use the Verizon webmail interface which will work or the webmail interface for the isp who handles your mail box or you could get a free gmail account that supplies you with a gmail smtp server that always appears to work.

SMTP server 2008 Not using TLS

I have setup a SMTP server 2008 and purchased a SSL cert for it. The cert is found in the SMTP properties. When i telnet to port 25 and do a helo starttls does come up. I am using this SMTP server for sever applications to send email only. I have restarted
services and checked the TLS boxes in the SMTP setup. I cannot get this smtp server to send using TLS. Port 465 is setup in the SMTP settings, default when you setup the TLS in the SMTP settings. How do i get the SMTP server to send using TLS? I have googled
until my eyes bleed. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks for your help

Ok i have fixed it but not sure why it is working. Both ports on the smtp server are now set to 25 and after sending an email and reviewing the header it appears that it is sending in TLS v01, as shown below. This tells me that the email was sent using TLS.
I did not think you could send TLS over port 25. Can someone explain please? Oh by the way i still cannot get 465 to work. The traffic is going out but i get no response from the rcpt side. Not sure why this is working. Any help greatly appreciated.

TCL SMTP server not avalable

Hello I use SMTP notification over EEM TCL.
All work fine. But I need found way resend email message then WAN channel was down or SMTP server not working.
Can it possible?

There is no built-in code to do this, so you will need to design your own solution. It is possible to do, though. For example, you could cache the message to a file on flash and have an EEM policy periodically wake up to see if the file exists. If it does, try to send the email, and if successful, delete the file.

Smtp server for roadrunner

I can receive, but not send email on my roadrunner account. I am told by Time Warner/Comcast that I must use the smtp server of my isp, meaning AT&T wireless. Anyone know what that would be?

I found the answer to my own problem.
I just discovered the following:
AT&T “cwmx.com” and “smtp.mymmode.com” outgoing SMTP servers only work through the AT&T wireless network and not over WI-FI.
Who knew? Not me! Maybe I'll look elsewhere to see how I can send e-mail messages from my Roadrunner e-mail account from my 3Gs iPhone using Wi-Fi.
I just found a post another site where someone had the same problem. They described it this way:
My broadband cable company (Insight in Columbus OH) will not allow me to send email (smtp) outside their network. I currently have my iPhone set to use Yahoo for sending but I don't like the advertisement Yahoo puts at the bottom. Does AT&T offer a smtp server to send mail from the iPhone?
EDIT: PS I'm looking for a FREE smtp server........I already pay plenty for broadband service and cell phone service!

Using alternate SMTP server to MobileMe as default

Original iPhone 8Gb, 2.0, Mobile Me
I am attempting to set up my email on my phone so that it receives push email from MobileMe and defaults to a different SMTP server. I have been able to do this successfully on my MBPro, yet the iPhone is giving me fits.
Here is my current settings:
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> MobileMe
Mail = On
Contacts = On
Calendars = On
Bookmarks = On
Account Info ->
Name = my name
Address = [email protected]
Password = *****
Description = MobileMe
Outgoing Mail Server
SMTP = smtp.theserveriwanttouse.com
Outgoing Mail Server ->
Primary Server = smtp.me.com = Off
Other SMTP Server ->
smtp.theserveriwanttouse.com = On
AT&T SMTP Server = Off
Everything so far looks correct to me and it should work just fine. However, when I send an email it is received as [email protected] rather than [email protected]
Does anyone have an idea of what settings I have wrong or why this doesn't work? I would really, really like to keep my MobileMe email secret and have all of my other email forwarded but if I can't figure this out then MobileMe isn't worth the $99 / year.
Thanks for any help.

The SMTP server used to send messages with an account alone does not change the email address shown as the sending email address for an account.
What is shown as the name and sending email address for an account is determined by what is entered in the name and email address fields for the account settings.
+Account Info ->+
+Name = my name+
+*Address = [email protected]*+
+Password = *****+
+Description = MobileMe+
Apple prevents entering a different email address in the email address field for the account settings with a .Mac or MobileMe email account to appear as the sending email address for the account. Using a different SMTP server to send messages with the account should allow for this, but you must enter the email address that you want to appear as the sending email address in the email address field for the account settings. This may not work either. This restriction is part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from Apple's domain.
