Out bound mail relay

Platform: Sun Solaris 8
Software: iMS 5.2
I would like to configure our server to use a specific relay for all out bound mail. Is there a simple way to do that?

If by "outbound mail" you mean all mail addressed to other servers, it's easy.
in your imta.cnf file, locate the two lines in "part II channel blocks" for tcp_intranet and tcp_local
add the
daemon
keyword, followed by the machine you want to use for your relay, like
daemon foo.domain.com
I usually put it at the end of a line.
after making the edits,
imsimta cnbuild
imsimta restart
and you're done

Configure LAMP stack to use internal mail relay without....

Does anybody know of a way i can configure my new LAMP stack to use the companys internal mail relay without having to implement postfix, or sendmail? I did already try to implement send mail recently, and its very confusing to me since i have never set up a mail server, and i tried to implement postfix, SOHO i think was the wiki i used, and that never got done either. It seems incredibly cryptic to someone who even has tons of server experience, just not the email portion. Maybe the wikis are just written for those who have more experience in making SSL certs, and being more versed in MX records, and DNS for email specific things. etc...
Since i have not successfully set up a mail server thus far, i dont have enough general mailer / experience to understand the wikis on setting up Sendmail, etc...
My company asked me if i could just use their internal mail relay instead. I would like to know if i still need to set up sendmail to allow PHP mail() function to send out mail, or if theres some configuration somewhere that i can adjust so it can use the existing internal mail relays.
Note, the only thing im trying to achieve here is to get my apps to send out emails for login password management, and error logs.

In my experience an SMTP server is preferable to sendmail/postfix as it is far more portable and robust... (in a web environment) many webhosts, for example, pay no heed to the configuration of sendmail - so code that runs on one host fails on another. PHP mail() can be leveraged to use any backend you like but this typically requires root access (or at least permissions beyond those offered on typical hosting services), and, as said above, does not allow for any useful level of error reporting.
Swiftmailer is (generally) my weapon of choice - unless the particular project has additional PEAR dependencies/requirements that mean it makes sense to stay within the same codebase... not that it (PEAR) is always that consistent anyhow
I can't really offer much in the way of help with cron integration as that is not a route I have taken - it should think it would be pretty trivial (sic )to implement as you build your script... swiftmailer has some pretty neat "live address" checking routines - have a dig through the docs

Out bound IDOC creation

Hi experts,
I am given a task to create an out bound IDOC which would be input to TIBCO, which must be triggered every time Good issue transaction is completed by either VT02N or VL02N transaction up pressing SAVE.
IDOC is to have fields from Customize tables apart from standard SAP tables, so was asked to create an own IDOC ( eg: Z--Idoc).
Please tell me how to create the idoc, and also the method to trigger it and how to populate the IDOC ( program etc).
Use full inputs would be promtly rewarded.
Regards,
Ram.

Hi
Creation of Custom IDOc type and message Type
First Create Partner Profile(WE20 Tcode) and Port Definition in WE19 Tcodes.
take the Basis help to create them.
1.First create segments in WE31 Tcode with the required dataelements
2.Create the Basic Idoc Type in WE30
release the Segments and IDOC type.
3.Create Message type in We81
4.Assign the message type to IDOC type in WE82 T code
5.Create the process code in We41 (for Outbound) WE42 (for Inbound)
6.Create A fun module in SE37 starting with ZIDOC_OUTPUT_.. by copying some Inbound (for Inbound) Outbound Fun module
7.Create Workflow setting if needed ..
8. Assign the fun module to Idoc Type, Message Type and WF object (if it is there0
9.Define setting for fun module in BD51
10.In BD51 Define the settings for Fun module..
10.Assign the Processs Code to Fun mod`ule
Outbound Interface
PROCESS DIAGRAM for Outbound Interface
1. Analyse Hierarchy Levels
2. Create New segment
3. Create New IDoc Type
4. Create New Message Type
5. Link Message with IDoc Type
6. Create an entry in EDP13 via transactions WE20 and BD64
7. Populate the Custom IDoc via ABAP Program
7b Error Handling
7c. Send Status Email
8. Test the Population of the Custom IDoc
Step 1 Analyse Hierarchy Levels:
Analyse the data relationships being processed in the interface. Define the appropriate hierarchical Parent-to-Child relationships.
Navigate to transaction code WEDI
Transaction WEDI displays the IDOC main menu. This allows navigation around the various development and control areas to create a customised IDOC.
Step 2 Create a new segment:
via wedi : Development - IDOC Segments or Transaction code WE31.
Enter segment name and click on Create.
? The name of the segment type must start with Z1 , and have a maximum of eight characters.
Enter description and enter the relevant field names and data elements.
? The segment should represent a structure in the program so for each field in the segment a field name and a data element must be defined.
Save the segment and enter Person Responsible and Processing Person .
Go to Edit and Set Release.
Repeat this procedure for each new Segment in the IDOC.
Step 3 Create a new IDOC Type
via wedi Development - IDOC Types or Transaction WE30.
Enter segment name (starting with Z), click on Basic Type and then Create.
Create as new, enter Person Responsible and Processing Person and enter description.
On Create Basic Type screen decide where segments should be inserted and go to Edit/Create Segment.
Complete relevant fields in the Maintain Attributes screen:
From the relevant segments created in Step 2 enter the Segment type and if mandatory segment.
The Minimum and Maximum number of segments to be allowed in the sequence. (One minimum and one maximum if segment is mandatory).
The Parent Segment and Hierarchy Level will be automatically created depending on where in the IDOC tree you decided to create that particular segment.
Repeat this process for each segment needed in the IDOC type, deciding whether to add the next segments at the same level or as a Child.
When IDOC created return to initial screen. Go to Edit and Set Release.
Go to Transaction WE60 to view the IDoc Type you have created.
Step 4 Create new Message Type
via wedi Development - Message Types or Transaction WE81.
Display/Change and click on New Entries
Create a new Message Type and Save.
Step 5 Link Message Type to IDOC Type
via wedi Development - IDOC Type/Message or Transaction WE82.
Display/Change and then click on New Entries.
Enter Message Type, Basic Type (IDOC Type) and Release (46C) and Save.
Step 6 Create an entry in EDP13 via transactions WE20 and BD64.
The partner profile for the Idoc must be set up and generated in the transaction BD64 and transaction WE20.
WE20 Add Message Type to appropriate Partner Type, Enter Message Type, Receiver Port and Idoc Type and Save.
BD64 Create a Model View, Enter Sender and Receiver Ports, Attach Message Type. Go to Environment on Menu and click on Generate Partner Profiles and generate (not save) profile.
Step 7 Populate the custom IDOC via ABAP Program
See Test Program ZOUTBD_IDOC_TEMPLATE, Appendix IV.
Create an Internal Table for each segment type, this should be exactly the same structure as the segment type.
The control record is filled into a structure like EDIDC. The message type and the Idoc type for the Idoc must be populated into the eddic structure.
- PERFORM populate_Control_structure USING c_mestyp
c_SEGMENT_type1.
The data segments are filled into a structure like edidd-sdata; sdata and the segment name are populated into the edidd structure.
- PERFORM transfer_Parent_data_to_seg.
The standard SAP function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE is called to pass the populated IDOC to the ALE Layer.
- PERFORM master_idoc_distribute.
NOTE: This function module is only called for stand alone programs and Shared Master Data programs (SMD). It is not called when using extensions or output determination.
The ALE Layer handles the sending of the IDOC to the receiving system.
Error Handling (see Step 7b).
Commit work.
Project Specific
Step 7b Error Handling Analyse which fields in the interface are mandatory for the receiving system and who needs to receive error notification.
Declare a structure of type MCMAILOBJ for sending instructions.
Enter values for the internal table based on structure MCMAILOBJ
For selection processes, on SY-SUBRC checks and where fields are mandatory for the receiving system; insert Function Module MC_SEND_MAIL.
Enter values in the following parameters: -
MS_MAIL_SENDMODE = B (Batch Mode)
MS_MAIL_TITLE = 'Mail Title'
MS_MAIL_DESCRIPTION = Error description (e.g. MATNR not given)
MS_MAIL_RECEIVER = Name of Receiver (To be determined)
MS_MAIL_EXPRESS = E (Express Delivery)
MS_MAIL_DLINAME = Leave Blank
MS_MAIL_LANGU = 'E' (Language)
MS_MAIL_FUNKOBJ_NAME = Leave Blank
TABLES
MS_MAIL_CONT = I_MCMAILOBJ
Note:
It has to be determined separately for each interface how these errors and mail notifications are to be grouped dependant upon the number of errors that are potentially likely. One possible approach is to send an email for each reason for rejection and include all the records that failed for that reason in the mail notification. Another possible approach is to send an email for every failure.
When error checking for mandatory fields it is common SAP practice to reject a record on its first failure (irrespective of subsequent errors in that record)
Step 7c Send status mail
Append to table I_MCMAILOBJ details of the time the interface was processed, how many Idocs were created and how many of these produced a status of 03.
Select the user to receive the mail from ZINT_RECEIVER, using the name of the program as a key (SY-CPROG).
Use function Module MC_SEND_MAIL to send a mail to the user containing the contents of I_MCMAILOBJ at the end of the interface processing.
Step 8 Test the population of the custom IDOC
via wedi IDoc - Display IDoc or Transaction WE02.
Enter your message type and execute.
Status should be green, double click on one of the Idocs you have created to view its contents.
If a problem has occurred click on Status which will give you a description of the error.
Drop down Data Records arrow and this should list the data in the IDoc in the correct hierarchical structure.
Click on each individual segment and view the content to check that the correct data has been read.
If you have UNIX access by using AL11 you can view the file that you have created.
Note:
For some interfaces it may be valid to send an empty file to SAP. This empty file is converted to the custom IDOC format expected by SAP. This custom IDOC will contain dummy information. In the inbound processing code, if the dummy information is identified then the processing of the IDOC is considered to be complete and the IDOC should then be assigned a successfully processed status of 53, even though it has not been processed at all.

RAID Connection Causing Mail Relay Start??

Greetings,
I have an interesting problem, and I'm cross-posting it to the Mail forum as well as the RAID forum. I have a client with an XServe running OS X 10.5.5 with a Fibre Channel and XSAN. The issue is whenever there's a fibre disconnect error on the RAID, for some reason, the "Relay outgoing mail through host" section of SMTP checks on, and, since there's no setting in there, e-mail doesn't go out. If anyone can assist in ideas on where to start, that would be awesome. Thank you.

I guess I should clarify a bit.
When the RAID disconnects, there's a brief period of time where the mail server fails to actively send mail out and it adds the relay outgoing mail to host option in the mail server configuration/main.cf. We've removed the setting through the GUI, and also directly through the main.cf file to attempt to resolve the issue. However, every time the RAID errors out, the mail server adds the setting back in.
What is happening is that the mail server cannot send the mail from localhost/hostname and adds the default outgoing mail server name to the main.cf file as a relay host. In turn, this attempts to relay mail back through the localhost which is identified by the name added as the relay host. This creates an endless loop and there's not way to get notification of this except that mail isn't being received by those to whom we are trying to send messages. So, essentially, our mail server is timing out, adding a relay host that loops back to itself, and is stopping all mail delivery services for outgoing messages. This is only affecting SMTP. There are no duplicate configuration files, and this is a fresh install of 10.5.5 Server.
Any help would be awesome.

ML server: more than one mail relay

How can I add more than one mail relay for outgoing mail through ISP?
In the server.app I can only add one mail-relay. My ISP recommends more

First I've heard of that recommendation....
Unless there's something rather odd going on here — cases such as very flaky ISP mail servers or very flaky network connections to the mail servers, such that you're finding a need to redirect your own mail client host settings to different mail servers at the same ISP, for instance — or if you're going to be sending out massive volumes of mail — I would leave it at one host, and see if there's an issue.
Mail servers are designed to retry for transient outages, so most errors should retry.
Postfix allows one relayhost, unless you want to get into sender_dependent_relayhost_maps and that's not particularly common.
With static IP and correct DNS, you could eliminate the relayhost setting entirely. That's a typical approach with mail servers.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How to configure Sendmail mail relay with authentication

Hi,
How to configure send mail relay. Client gave us smtp host,port, username and password. We have a couple of server. If we configure the relay in any one of the server other servers able send mails using relay server. Please help me on this?

.Create an IT Resource of Type Mail Server. Give Name as "Email Server.Now populate the values for all the parameter for example Server,username,password and authentication type.
.Go to System Configuration and in Email Server property value give the name of IT resource you created in step1 so the name will be "Email Server".

How can I find out the mail server from email address?

Hi:
How can I find out the mail server from email address?
for example: If I know the email address is [email protected],
how to find the pop3 and smtp mail server?
THANK YOU

You can't tell by the email address since you can pretty much put whatever you want in there (especially if the SMTP server is not filtering anything).
The header may be able to tell you something. There is a Received header value which looks like it has the routing information although I am not sure if this is a complete trace or just the last hop the message took.

How to: Send out e-mails through a 3rd party mail host?

Hi,
We would like to send out e-mail campaign from our CRM system.
But we would not like to risc being blacklisted as spammer, so we would like to send out the e-mails using a 3rd party mail host provider.
Our sales department already use our CRM system for sending out their sales related e-mails.
They use our corporate exchange server for that.
So the scenario is:
I have created a smtp node in trx scot, and liked it to our domain *company.com
This node points to our corporate mail host. All our normal users use this domain.
All our campaign e-mails from CRM should be send using another mail host as described before.
According to note 455140, I don't see that I can create a new smtp node in scot.
And link this one to our new e-mail domain *company-news.com and the external mail host.
How do I send these e-mails to a specific mail host when the sender is a specific domain e.g. company-news.com?
My Exchange server guys say that they can't redirect specific mails send from our CRM system.
They can only redirect all mails that are send from our CRM system, but then all the e-mails from our sales reps are also send through a 3rd party mail host.
Does anyone have battled with this before, and how did you solve it?
best regards
Michael Wolff Knudsen

We bought a new Exchange server, version 2007 just for CRM. This Exchange version can tunnel the e-mail to our 3rd party vendor, and they can send out the e-mails so neither one of us gets spammed.

How do I install stunnel on Yosemite server 4 so my mail relay works on port 465?

My ISP blocks outbound smtp mail and insists I point to their relay server on port 465. After I set up mail relaying in the server config app I get SMTP log errors saying it's unimplemented. After some research it looks like I need to install a SSL tunnel package called stunnel. Has anyone had an success getting stunnel installed? Or, has anyone had any luck using Yosemite Server 4 to mail relay through verizon.net (port 465)? Any suggestions are much appreciated.

I'll assume that you have to authenticate to the mail relay with a name and password. The Server GUI doesn't provide for this use case.
Take the following steps to configure Postfix to relay mail to a remote SMTP server with password authentication over SSL. Substitute as required for strings in italics below. Address is the fully-qualified domain name of the relay host. The value of port is usually either 25, 465, or 587. Username and password refer to your credentials on the relay host.
In the current version of OS X Server (but not necessarily in older versions), Steps 1 and 3 should be done for you when you enable relaying and relay authentication in the Server application.
1. If necessary, create or update the relayhost directive in
     /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/main.cf
It should look like this:
     relayhost = [address]:port
2. Add these lines, above the section at the end that begins with the comment "# Mac OS X Server":
     smtp_sasl_security_options =
     smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/certificates/relayhost.pem
     smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:$data_directory/smtp_tls_session_cache
     smtp_use_tls = yes
3. If it doesn't already exist, create the password file
     /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/sasl/passwd
with this content:
     [address]:port
     username:password
Here address must match $relayhost.
Then create the password database:
sudo postmap /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/sasl/passwd
This action creates the file
     /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/sasl/passwd.db
The two password files should be readable by root only.
4. Create the file
     /etc/certificates/relayhost.pem
with the CA certificate(s) to be trusted for authentication of the remote host. You get those certificates from the service provider. If you can't find a link to download them, try this:
openssl s_client -connect address:port -showcerts < /dev/null | sed -n '/-BEGIN /,/-END /p' | sudo sh -c 'cat > /etc/certificates/relayhost.pem'
The command may produce an error message that isn't necessarily significant. For servers that use the older STARTTLS protocol, rather than straight TLS or SSL, this command may need to be modified.
5. Restart the Mail service.

Cannot drag MP3 attachment out of mail.

Hey All,
Since somewhere in Mavericks, now in Yosemite, I lost the ability to drag an MP3 attachment out of mail. I remember the time I was able to do so. Don't know where or what or why that changed. I can drag it in though, but not out. With things like jpeg, or pdf, I have no problems. I checked all prevs, of Mail app, and Finder.
What Am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Barracuda

i do want to leave 'automatic sync' enabled because, well, i want my phone to automatically sync when i plug it in. i also want drag-drop to work once it's done that, but that's why i posted...
the 2nd drag-drop: "the same drag-drop that worked not two minutes ago" refers to "[[dragging]] .MP3 files from elsewhere on my computer to my iTunes music library". Nothing to do with the phone. In fact the problem still occurs if I disconnect the phone after iTunes has launched.
i'd be interested to hear if anyone else sees this behavior:
1) iTunes launched by Explorer => drag-drop enabled
2) iTunes launched by iTunesHelper (plug in iPhone) => drag-drop disabled
where 'launched' means actually launched, and not just restored from the system tray.

How 2 Copy Header & Line Item Text from Purchase Order 2 Out Bound Delivery

Hi SD Gurus,
I want to copy header and line item text from Purchase Order to Out Bound Delivery (This is required in Stock Transfer Process).
I have been able to do successful config. for copying header and line item text from Sales Order to Outbound Delivery but config. doesn't seems to be same for copying text from PO to OBD.
Is there any way to achieve the same? Can some expert show the way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
Rahul Mishra

Hi Ravikumar thanks for u quick reply.
This is wht is currently coded.
concatenate values to get item text for read text function
   invar3+0(10) = invar1. "PO number
   invar3+10(5) = invar2. "PO line number
   SELECT SINGLE * FROM stxh WHERE tdobject = 'EKPO'
                               AND tdname   = invar3
                               AND tdid     = 'F01'
                               AND tdspras = sy-langu.
   IF sy-subrc = 0.
     invar4 = invar3.
reading the text for the document items.
     CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
       EXPORTING
         id       = 'F01'
         language = sy-langu
         name     = invar4
         object   = 'EKPO'
       TABLES
         lines    = it_itab.
I have seen some PO's which have info rec texts in that, which gets pulled by the above code...first thing is its id is F02 which exist in STXH table also there is other text with F01 id, and hence the table it_itab gets both these text hence no pbm.
but i came across a PO which has only one text which is info rec text with id F05 and is not store in stxh and hence doesnot get pulled by read_text fm. How do i change my cod to get this text which should not hamper other PO's as well.
As mentioned in above msgs, this F05 could be retrieved by providing object name as EINE.
anyhelp will be appreciated and rewarded.
thanks

Okay here is where I am at so far and thanks for sticking with me, we may have success eventually! Can you confirm the following:
1--I Go into the iMac Address Book and click on File/Export/Address Book Archive.
2--It then asks me where I want to save Address Book and I indicate Desktop.
3--I then assume I somehow transfer this Desktop file to the iBook--can I just copy the file, email it to the iBook, and paste it into the iBook Desktop?
Yes
4--If I'm accurate so far, I then do the same with the iBook Archive and save it
to the iBook Desktop.
Yes
5--NOW I open the iMac archive that is on the iBook desktop and it will ask me if I want to overwrite the existing iBook address book and I indicate Yes and it will then place the iMac address book on the iBook.
Yes
6--When and if I want to put the iBook address book back into the iBook I click on the file that is on the iBook Desktop and proceed to put the 'old' iBook address book back in.
That's it.
If I am correct on this, another question arises--does this method transfer every email address I use as I notice in Address Book under 'All Contacts' there are some that are missing. I may not have manually added each and every address to my Address Book so maybe that is why some are missing and may not show up in this transfer of Archives? Thanks for your patience Barney.
That's what I would assume. Like I said, the Archive is really just a copy of the AddressBook folder which contains everything related to Address Book and Mail's previous recipients.
Now, the Address Book contacts and Mail's previous recipients are different entities--they just share the same storage location. So, if that is what you mean by there are some missing, they should still auto-complete in Mail since the previous recipients also is used for auto-complete.
