Sending a mail across servers

Hi All,
How to send the mail from one server to other servers using workflow. In specific from a user (SAPSERVER1) to the other user (SAPSERVER2).
Regards,
Chandralekha.

Hi,
You can enter the userID(SAP login ID) directly in the activity (send mail). In the recepients box from the drop down list Recepient Type select 'Organizational object' and from the dropdown list just below the Recepient type select USER and enter the UserID for which the mail has to be forwarded.
Try the following link for more detailed info.

Mail Will not send/receive. SMTP servers (offline)

This change happened during normal operation. Suddenly cannot send/receive mail.
Any thoughs?

Hi CDog, I feel your sentiment from the "avatar" post you made and at the end lead me to this link. Have you used the Connection Doctor? It is helpful at times to check what particular errors you encounter. You might also want to create something like a public email (@gmail, @yahoo) and create a new account to test if it is an issue with the mail app or an issue with your smtp servers. Either the connection doctor or time will tell when your servers will be online. hope that helps and great caricature from Crumb

How to send e-mails with attachments using microsoft exchange servers?

I was wondering if there was a way to send e-mails with attached data files. The e-mail server utilizes a Microsoft Exchange Server. I would appreciate any help that is provided.

What version and type of development system of LabVIEW do you have. You have the SMTP Email Send File and SMTP Email Send Multiple Attachments in all except the base package.

E72- Unable to send e-mail from work mailbox

I am unable to send e-mails from my work e-mail through my E72 although it receives perfectly. I have been in contact with Nokia via e-mail for the last 2 weeks and they have sent several suggestions to solve the issue but nothing is working. I have set-up my work e-mail on my husbands Blackberry with the same settings and can receive and send perfectly. From that I conclude there is no issue with the settings I have or my work e-mail but with
Nokia!! The latest 'help' I have received was to download a patch but I have no idea how to do this and get it onto my phone. So far Nokia have not replied to me.
Any suggestions how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated

If you're using a much older firmware, updating the phone would be a good idea. Find the Software Updates section of nokia.com and type your phone model. If you can't do an over-the-air update, download and install either the OVI Suite or the standalone Software Updater. This may hard reset the phone, so back up anything important with OVI Suite first.
Ignoring firmware for now, IMAP and URL's are like apples and oranges. If you work for a small company, the server may always be called " mail.mycompany.com", but IMAP will never use an HTTP or HTTPS prefix. URL's are typically associated with Microsoft Exchange servers. Within the email program, check Options -> Settings -> Mailbox settings -> Mailbox settings -> Advanced mailbox settings. Are "Outgoing email settings" set to something like
User authentication: Same as for incoming
Outgoing mail server: <compare to the setting for the Incoming server name; in a small company this will likely be the same>
Since you're getting far enough for the mail sever to reject your connection, the other settings should be fine as-is.
It does look like an authentication issue, so I'd say you're either hitting the wrong server or there's a bad username or password in there somewhere. If the Blackberry works with an IMAP connection, then you should be using the same server name(s), and user/password.
If all else fails, you can always try removing and readding the mailbox completely. Choose Menu -> Applications -> Email -> Settings -> <highlight your work account> -> Options -> Remove mailbox. And then set it up from scratch. I hope that helps a little!

Can I set up a Non .mac Email Pop mail client Alias for sending SMTP mail?

I have a yahoo.com POP mail account - [email protected] When I'm lgged into Yahoo mail, this account can receive and send mail from serveral aliases - [email protected], [email protected], etc.
Using Tiger's mail.app, I can log into the Yahoo smtp server and get all my mail, including mail to the alias names.
I would like to be able to reply from my Mac's mail.app account, using one of the aliases, instead of my POP account name. In other words, I'd like the From field be listed as "[email protected]" and not "[email protected]"
In mail.app (v2.1) is there any way to do this?
Alan Sampson' suggestion doesn't work - when I set the From field to the alias name, it looks like mail tries to login to the yahoo SMTP server under the alias, and it gets rejected.
( - see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2603372&#2603372 )
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the primary email account preferences, enter all alias email addresses in the Email Address field for the account separate by a comma.
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
MacMini - 1.42 Mac OS X (10.4.7)
MacMini - 1.42 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
MacMini - 1.42 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

If Yahoo allows this, it should work. Open Mail Help, type alias in the search box, and read the article titled Adding multiple email alias addresses to an account. Could it be that you're trying to put the aliases in the wrong field (i.e. User Name rather than Email Address)? Or maybe it's Yahoo's SMTP server that doesn't allow you to do this?

Problem while sending a mail with smtp and ssl

hi neuro11
the following code is for sending mail its is working fine in my system, just change the
SMTP_AUTH_USER = "tina.numi"; with u r email user name
SMTP_AUTH_PWD = "abdcde"; u r gmail password
emailFromAddress = "[email protected]"; ur gmail addres
emailList = {"[email protected]"}; receipient list .
and u must sure that u r internet is on and firewall should be off . some times firewall restricts you to communicate with gmail port number
Please make u r firewall off and source code is
package com.FutureSoft.org.SendingMail;
Some SMTP servers require a username and password authentication before you
can use their Server for Sending mail. This is most common with couple
of ISP's who provide SMTP Address to Send Mail.
This Program gives any example on how to do SMTP Authentication

Please help, how to send mails faster / send more mails per hour

hello,
in my application i am using mail sender class i have created to send mail to the users to participate in a survey. following is the code for it. i would like to know if there is anything wrong in it coz it takes to much time to send the mails it is taking 2 minustes to send 6 mails i.e 360 mails per hour only.
following is how i instantiate the mail sender class and then generate a http link string dynamically as it is different for all the user.

Lots of variables here....Also my maths says only 180 per hour.... i.e. three a minute.
1) you are using a database to get info from. What is the average response time of the DB server? Looks like you are doing one SQL then reading the result table but does the initial SQL take a while?
2) how much data are you passing on to the SMTP server and how fast/slow is the link to that SMTP server? Work out the absolute max amount of data you can transfer over the link then get your average message size and work out a VERY theoretical Max number of messages a minute. Note that real life might approach 80% of this taking TCP/IP and SMTP overheads into account.
3) What sort of load is the SMTP server under? If it's busy you will be only getting a fraction of whatever bandwidth is available. Depending on its design it may be trying to deliver the first message you sent it while you are still pumping more messages down to it. SMTP servers may limit the number of connections per minute from another machine in order to defeat a denial of service attack. Your code makes a connection per email so this may have relevence here.
4) Raw horsepower always helps. When I write stuff to do things like this there is no nice GUI screen etc. Just basic Java that if it has to will write a log if something goes wrong. Maybe just maybe a counter on STD out to show it is still actually doing something. Keep the number of classes used down to the bare minimum. In the old days we used to spend days paring code to the bone - a skill somewhat lost these days.
Hope this gives you some help in finding the bottleneck.
Cheers,

When I try to send e-mail I get an error message stating that the e-mail address was rejected by the server. When I send to e-mail from another address, I get back an error saying the e-mail address is unknown. My e-mail has worked fine for years until yesterday. HELP!

The specific text of the error message is very important here — I'm not sure exactly you're encountering here.
If you're able to connect to your email server and are able send email to other email addresses and if the failures are specific to one email recipient address, then please contact the intended recipient of the failing email, and confirm their address is valid. (This is the way I'm reading your question.)
If you are unable to send any email to any other email addresses and this is specific to your email address, then try the web mail client interface (if one is available) to verify your login user and password, and check with your email ISP for assistance. If your email password works via web mail, follow this Apple troubleshooting guide, then — if everything else fails — I'd probably then entirely remove the email account from Mail.app and re-add it per your email ISP's particular setup requirements. (Some issue with the setup or maybe a corrupt setting in OS X or a problem at the mail ISP servers is a common problem, but this effects attempts to send to all email addresses via that account.)
An email account setup is specific to an email provider, unfortunately. If you're using one of the more common email ISPs, then there are usually setup guides and frequently-asked questions posted online.

How to send notification mail by IDM 7.1?

HI,
I configured the idm 7.1 and want to send notification mail to user when a new user is created.
But I can not get email from IDM. I think the SMTP server is right and I can telnet to SMTP server and send mails.
How to test the IDM configuration is right ? or how to test send mail notification by an easy way ?
Thanks.

I configured the IDM from Configure--> servers -->Edit Server Settings page ,Email Template, as filled form:
Default SMTP Server      192.168.22.222
     Use default
Default SMTP Port      25
     Use default (25)
SMTP Port      25
SMTP Authentication Enabled
     Use default (true)
     Authentication Enabled
User Id      idmmail
Password      *****
Default SMTP Enable SSL
     Use default (false)
     SSL Enabled
     Disable Certificate Authentication
When I run the "ALL USERS" report, I select the 'Email Report' and filled the mail address. But after running the report , I can't receive email and no error messages displayed.
Could you tell me how to do I can debug or trace the messages if the IDM sent or not sent mail , if it connects to mail server ?
Thanks.

Methods to send a mail

Hi,
please bear with me, and any mistakes i make, as i'm not that much of an expert in the whole area of mail sending and servers. At the minute our software is using javamail to send mails through a SMTP host. fairly simple, nothing too complicated about it.
the problem is that the company that uses out software is changing all their mail servers to Microsoft Exchange servers. At the minute it seems like they will not be opening the ports for SMTP (or IMAP, LDAP, POP3 etc.), so that we can continue to use the mail function in our software.
So is there any other way that we can send e-mails using our software. We were told we could use an interface called MAPI, but having done a little search i haven't been able to find too much info (apart from what it means ;-) about how i can use it with java. Can anyone possibly point me in the right direction.
Thanks for your time

Hey,
With MIDP it's little bit hard to make application which connects to POP3 or IMAP server because there is no support for socket connections. But if your phone support sockets, it's not hard to
make a simple e-mail client for j2me.
But i've heard that it's possible to make somekind hacked socket connection for MIDP but i'm not sure will that work on actually phones.

Weird problem-w/ aol mail,i can recieve and reply,but can not send new mail

everything is set up, i read the instructions on that site to help me set it up, im recieving mail, and i can even reply, but when i try to send new mail it rejects the smtp. outgoing mail server...any suggestions?

Does resetting include deleting and recreating the AOL SMTP server?
Deleting an SMTP server requires selecting Edit Server List from the SMTP server selection pop-up menu.
ISP is short for Internet Service Provider. Are you using AOL as your ISP for connecting to the internet?
Unless AOL is used as your ISP, your ISP may have made recent changes regarding the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network. Most, if not all ISPs have restrictions regarding the use of SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25. Using Port 587 usually resolves any such restrictions but some ISPs block the use of all SMTP servers outside of their network regardless. These restriction are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent or reduce spam eminating from the ISP's domain.
Since you have switched back and forth between every option available, I suggest deleting and recreating AOL's SMTP server first (if you haven't already done so) and if this didn't work, deleting and recreating this AOL account in Mail.
If neither works and AOL is not your ISP used for connecting to the internet and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP, try selecting/using your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your AOL account.
If this works, I would contact your ISP's technical support to inquire about any recent changes implemented regarding the use of SMTP servers outside of their network or put in another way, using an SMTP server that is not provided by your ISP.
The last resort is targeting the Mail.app preference file which stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences.
I try to avoid saying never in regards to computers but I doubt your hard drive replacement has anything to do with this.

Internal and External Mail Exchange servers server not communicating with IronPort

Hello Support Community,
I have setup external mail exchange server and an internal mail exchange server to test out ironport, those two are not communicating via IronPort neither are they both recieving eachothers sent messages in their inbox, i have setup a smart host in both of those servers to point to ironport but thats still of no help. I have two smtp routes setup as well one's recieving domain: dummy.local which is external and its destination host: softheon.local which is internal which means its smart host is pointing to ironport's data 1. Is there something that im missing which is not letting these two mail exchange servers connect to each other as well as connect with the ironport to catch the msgs being sent
thanks

Are you trying to relay through the appliance, or just email the appliance?
If trying to relay through the appliance, make sure the IP address of your exchange server is added to the RELAYLIST under the HAT (host access table) located under Mail Policies Tab - Host Access Table. Click on the RELAYLIST and add the IP - submit and commit changes.
If you are just trying to email the appliance, you may be getting dropped at the handshake level based on reputation (or lack thereoff).
From your exchange boxes, open up a command prompt and telnet to the ironport on port 25 and initiate a command line email.
So:
telnet IP-OF-IRONPORT 25 (hit enter, you should connect up and see the IronPort banner)
helo (type helo - from here you'll probably get dropped by the IronPort)
mail from: [email protected] (if you dont get dropped put in your email address)
rcpt to: [email protected] (put in the other email address)
data (type data and hit enter)
This is a test. (type anything, this is the message body)
. (when done typing, type a single . (period) and hit enter. The email should send if you got that far.
You most likely need to add the IP addresses of your exchagne boxes to the WHITELIST under the HAT to resolve any reputation issues from your test exchange boxes.

HT1277 all of a sudden I am not able to send out mail. I have checked and rechecked my account information including incoming and outgoing server info.

If you're having trouble sending mail, then either the SMTP (outbound) mail server settings — the server, the port, the user, the password, and whether SSL is in use or (unlikely) not — are incorrect, or the mail server is offline or has been reconfigured.
The SMTP (outbound) settings are in Preferences, but are buried rather deeply. Select Preferences > Accounts > select the account > switch the outgoing mail server (SMTP) to Edit SMTP Server List... and then select the SMTP server from the list, and verify that the settings are correct with your ISP, and that your username and password are correct.
The required settings vary by your particular mail ISP; you'll have to check with the ISP for the server and login details.
To test settings, select Window > Connection Doctor > then (when the tests fail) show the details, and (if you can't sort out what happened) sanitize the settings and post the output here.
Caveat: do not repeat password tests with the mail server, as various mail providers can be configured to assume these are a password brute-force attack, and lock out repeated login attempts.
Caveat: never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever not-at-all enter a password when Mail pops up a dialog box with the "OMG YOUR PASSWORD IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE ENSURE YOU CANNOT LOG IN AGAIN!!!!!" dialog box. (I'm paraphrasing that error dialog box slightly.) The correct answer to that Mail.app password dialog box is almost always "cancel" button. Passwords stored in Keychain generally don't get lost or corrupted, and trying random passwords as that dialog box encourages just gets you locked out of various servers, and...

Can't send e-mail, receiving OK

Out of the blue today I am suddenly unable to send e-mail. If I go to mail/preferences/accounts, my smtp server shows "smtp.xxx.net(offline)"... xxx used to replace actual name. A call to my ISP resulted in finding out that they are having no issues with the outgoing servers. I tend to belive them this time, as I can send e-mail from my iPhone through the same account and smtp server. I've read many previous posts that mention a password issue. I deleted and re-entered all my passwords. Still no go.
Clicking on Mail/Accounts brings up Internet Accounts. When I click on my mail account there I get this message...Password could not be sent to “pop.xxx.net” securely. Now I'm not sure what's up with that, as I'm able to receive mail just fine. I also read a number of previous posts regarding this particular password message, but didn't see any advice there that I was comfortable with at this time.
Any help would be most appreciated.

A morning update. I am now able to send e-mail once again, but I can't say for sure what I did to make it happen. As mentioned in an earlier post, all my e-mail accounts were POP accounts. When I deleted the main one, and set it back up again, it became an IMAP account. This morning I was experiencing the same problems as yesterday. I went to the IMAP account, and today it allowed me to uncheck the SSL box. But I was still unable to send. I quit Mail, went back in, and the SSL box was checked once again, but I noticed the password didn't seem long enough (probably the POP account password). So I put in the correct password, and everything works. I am now able to send from the IMAP account and the POP accounts.
With the Internet Accounts situation mentioned in my original post, I still get the "Password could not be sent to pop.xxx.net securely" message when I click on the POP accounts, but I get no password message when I click on the IMAP account. Any ideas on what might be going on there? Would it be recommended to change all my accounts from POP to IMAP?

Sender e-mail Invalid

I continue to get "Sender E-mail Invalid" when trying to send or forward messages. I have read some of the discussions but have not seen a clear cut answer or resolution. Can someone please provide a solution.

I have this issue due to using Roadrunner email. Roadrunner's SMTP server will only work when on their network. Perhaps your situation is similar.
I've tried just about everything and the best solution I've come up with is to go into email account settings and TURN OFF the Primary SMTP server (Roadrunner) when NOT on my home WiFi. By doing so, the AT&T SMTP server [cwmx.com] will then be used to send email (just need to be sure it is listed under "Other SMTP Servers"). Then when using my home WiFi again, I must go into settings and turn the Primary SMTP server (Roadrunner) ON.
It's a little cumbersome and I would welcome a better method, although I should probably just migrate to a more iPhone-friendly email system.
