SAPConnect :: FAX uses wrong FROM address

Hi guys,
We've successfully upgrade our old 4.6C system to SAP ECC6.
We still have a minor issue with sending faxes.
We've installed a Hylafax-server which will send the faxes using a modem.
On this Hylafax server, a mail relay server is installed as well.
Basically SAP (SAPConnect using communicationmethod FAX) will send an email to the Hylafax server with a PDF attached. This email will be received by the mail server and hylafax will fax the PDF attachment.
Hylafax will then send an email back to the address shown in the "FROM" field of the email to indicate whether the fax was sent successfully or not.
Now... everything works perfect, except SAP always sends the email to the fax server with "from" address "0000000000000000@<domain>" instead of the SAP user's emailaddres filled in using SU01.
The weird thing is that we tested this before the upgrade on a test SAP server, and it worked on the test machine..
Also, on the same SMTP node, using communication method "INT (internet)" it works perfectly.
But using communication method "FAX", this problem occurs.
Does anyone has any suggestions on what could be the problem?
At this oment I'm running out of ideas.
Many thanks in advance.

We have faced same/similar problem.
We use SAPConnect SMTP for fax. Faxes geet forwarded as SMTP mails to a fax service provider, and gets faxed from there. SAPConnect picks user's email address from user master as "Sender" address. It is working perfectly fine in R/3 4.7 production environment.
We upgraded the system to ERP 6.0 EHP4 on a sandbox server. Now the SAPConnect behavior changed. Instead of using the email address from the user master SAPConnect picks the Fax Number from the usermaster and forms the sender address as "Fax=+faxnumber@defaultdomain". Now our Fax service provider cannot recognize the sender, and rejects/drops it.
WORKAROUND: One workaround that we found was to delete the fax number from the user master. Now SAPConnect falls back to email address from user master. (SAPConnect trace shows "Sender address for communication method FAX not found",  "Use e-mail address for sender").
Hope this helps.

  • Multiple POP/SMTP Accounts Bug - Mail uses wrong 'from' address

    I've be scratching my head over this but can't see anything else wrong so I figure it must be a bug with Mail 4.2:
    I have multiple POP3/SMTP accounts configured, lets say:
    [email protected], to receive on pop.blah1.com and send on smtp.blah1.com
    [email protected], to receive on pop.blah2.com and send on smtp.blah2.com
    If I create emails sourced from [email protected], they are sent just fine.
    However if I try to email from [email protected], I get a pop-up telling me that smtp.blah2.com is offline and I need to select another SMTP server.
    I checked the server settings a hundred times over and also resorted to telnetting to port 25 of blah2.com to ensure it was full working (yes it was!).
    [Even Connection Doctor thinks the servers are all good]
    So next I try telling emails sourced from [email protected] to send via smtp.blah1.com - Eureka, it works!
    But this is a little odd - so I check the received email headers and compare these with the 'Sent' header.
    It appears that mail thinks its sending the email from [email protected] but the email actually ends up being sourced from [email protected]!
    So I can only presume that Mail is marking the smtp.blah2.com server as down because it is trying to use the wrong source address when sending a message and therefore being refused by the SMTP relay.
    Has anyone else seen this?

    Thanks chaps,
    The other accounts are direct POP3/SMTP to my hosted servers - they are not passing through GMail and so it couldn't cause the issue.
    I have, however, found the problem inadvertently while trying to run a comparison with Thunderbird - the good news is, its not Mail as such, though it does raise a couple of other questions...
    Basically, whichever SMTP server is running on my hosted servers, it does not allow a message with no text in the body, while Google's SMTP implementation clearly does.
    As my test messages only had a subject line, they were failing on my servers but working OK with GMail.
    The questions therefore are:
    1. Shouldn't Mail pad an empty message to ensure it goes (MS Outlook works fine with empty messages but interestingly Thunderbird also doesn't)
    2. Even assuming its OK to use GMail's SMTP as a relay, shouldn't Mail use the correct source address rather than making it look like the emails came from my GMail account?
    - I'm not sure if this is 'allowed' with modern SMTP from a security perspective but I think that some services support it.
    Thanks for all your input!

  • Mac Mail Uses wrong "from:" Address .... ouch!

    I have multiple e-mail accounts set up on Mac mail.  Each email account has it's own SMTP server defined.  The "use only this SMTP server" is checked on all the accounts.
    Today I sent an email from one account ... let's call it [email protected]
    The outbound server was set properly.
    The mail was sent, and appears on the outbox for [email protected]  Just like normal.
    I got a reply back from the person I sent the e-mail to, and the reply shows that my e-mail originated from a DIFFERENT account.  Let's call it [email protected]
    The e-mail I sent originally does NOT show up in the Sent e-mail box for [email protected]  It shows up in the Sent e-mail box for [email protected] where it should.
    So ... it looks like  Apple Mail sent an e-mail from the wrong account, using the wrong SMTP server.  The mail program obviously doesn't konw what SMTP account to send mail from.
    Wow.
    I'm shocked.
    This is beyond lame.

    Follow up to my own question.  I do see others have had this problem:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2253932?tstart=0
    It makes no sense whatsoever for Apple Mail to "fall back" to an SMTP server that is not assigned to a particular account.  It's far better for the SMTP connection to fail and NOT send the e-mail from the wrong account, instead of confusing all the people I send e-mails to.
    This SMTP fallback "feature" ***** and should be gotten rid of.

  • Uses incorrect from address

    Using Thunderbird mailer on laptop with M1217nfw wireless hp printer. 
    Eprint is picking up the "received from" field from the header file instead of the "From" address hence it will not print the attachments being sent. As you know the received from field is a long list of all the hops the messages take thru the network.
    How can I get Eprint to use the From address for security comparison?

    The thing is the ePrint spam filters don't just read the from section to check for spam, it also checks the suject line, so, if there are forward or reply tags in the subject line, ePrint see the message as spam.  You'll need to remove all those tags before the messages will get through.

  • Wrong from address being used when sending emails.

    I have had a problem just recently on my iPhone 5S with latest iOS 7.1.1 whereby outbound emails are being sent from the wrong account.
    When I start to compose the email the correct from address is shown, but then when I enter or select a recipient it sometimes changes to one of my other accounts. This causes confusion and problems when people don't recognise the email account, and potentially will reveal a private account to someone I don't want to.
    The default is set correctly, it just happens occasionally after entering a recipient email address.  Very odd and recent behaviour. 
    If I notice and change the sending account before sending the email then the next time that I send an email to that person it seems ok.  But it can change again at any time.
    I just tested and if I change the sending email address it will use that the next time, if I change it back it will then select a random different one following that.  It is very definitely a bug.  I bet you $5 if I call up Apple tech support they will tell me to reset and restore my phone, which will probably solve it for a few months before it crops up again.  Have tried rebooting the phone and turning off and on and switching default accounts, no change.

    Check your mail smtp server preferences in Mail Prefs > Accounts for each account. That is independent of the "account" dropdown in the message composition window. In preferences > account, make sure that the desired smtp server is selected for each of your mail accounts. Authenticated smtp servers will specify the username with the smtp server info. If any are in error, you will need to go in and edit the smtp server information from that same pulldown menu for each account in error.

  • Email from iPhoto uses wrong sender address.

    When I send an email from iPhoto
    an email is generated.
    but in the "from" field a wrong email address  is placed.
    How can I change this into my email address.

    iPhoto preferences ==> accounts - delete the incorrect account an enter the correct one - or in the iPhoto preferences set Mail as your email client - it has much better account control and also has a sent mail mailbox

  • Wrong From address used w/ multiple accounts

    Hi;
    I have successfully setup three separate mailboxes in Apple Mail (work, personal and a gmail account) and can receive without a problem. When I compose an email, I can also select from one of the three addresses in from drop-down box to select my 'From' address.
    My problem is that when the email arrives at the destination, the From address is incorrect! If I select to send from email #2 ("Test User 2" <[email protected]>), it displays properly while composing, but when the email arrives, the "From" address is "[email protected]" with the correct name "Test User 2". Make sense?
    Does anyone have a solution for this? Is this a bug?
    Thanks,
    Rafael

  • Using another from address for Gmail account in Mac OSX Lion's Mail app

    Hi,

  • HT5361 Wrong "From" address used when I send email - why???

    In the iOS mail app, when I compose a message, I can select what email address I want a given email to be sent from. I use this feature, but sometimes the email will go out with a DIFFERENT "From" email address than the one I selected. This is a big problem, as I have separate work and personal email addresses. Is there any way I can keep this from happening??

  • Gmail: wrong "from" address on iPhone

    Is set up my gmail account and am receiving email fine. I set my account up online and in the account section chose a different address as my "From" default.
    When I send email from my gmail web account, it comes through from the correct address ([email protected]).
    However, when I send from the iPhone, it comes through the gmail address ([email protected])
    I've tried every setting and can't figure it out. Really frustrated! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    So I tried this set up, let me know what I did wrong, because I still can't get it to work right:
    Name: Jane Doe
    Address: [email protected]
    description: [email protected]
    Incoming:
    Host name: pop.gmail.com
    username: [email protected]
    password: xxxxxxx
    Outgoing:
    Host: mail.mycompany.com
    username: [email protected]
    pasword: xxxxxxx
    With that setup, I thought it would work, but my test email still came in as @gmail.com
    Did I do something wrong?

  • Send using diffeernent from addresses in Mail

    Hi, have asked around and everyone seems to be scratching their heads on this so thought I'd fire an email off to someone who might know!
    For a long time I have been forwarding different emails to my gmail account as a sort of catch-all, and in Mail on my Mac setting up the gmail IMAP account by writing the addresses in the relevant field as such;
    [email protected], [email protected]
    and so on. This gives me a drop-down menu when replying or writing a message in Mail to choose which address to send from.
    My question is how, or indeed if, this is possible on the iPhone. I have the gmail IMAP setup fine, but I cannot type a comma in the account address field and so this functionality is not there. Unless I am mistaken?
    Hopefully that made sense!

    See the “UPDATE” box here for a solution that might work: http://gjg.gd/0DVHZfQt

  • Wrong From address

    Have 4 email accounts on my iphone. Selected my business account as the default for outgoing mail. When I send an email, it DOES send it from default account, but DISPLAYS as from one of the other accts. I even dleted the account, and it still shows up as the sending account to mail recipients.

    Check your mail smtp server preferences in Mail Prefs > Accounts for each account. That is independent of the "account" dropdown in the message composition window. In preferences > account, make sure that the desired smtp server is selected for each of your mail accounts. Authenticated smtp servers will specify the username with the smtp server info.

  • I'm embarrassed to ask this: when I click to initiate a new email message in the "From" box it automatically chooses the wrong email address (I have three but use one mainly). How can I get the right choice to appear automatically?

    I'm embarassed to ask this: when I click on the new mail icon to write a new email message, in the box "FROM" appears the wrong email address: I have three but mainly use one. How can I correct this so that the right email address appears in the "FROM" box?

    I assume this is Apple Mail. Try this:
    Preferences > Accounts > your-first-account
    Select Outgoing Mail Server of account/name you wish to use and check Use only this server
    Repeat for other accounts.
