Sender mail adapter config for MS Exchange Server

Dear All Gurus,
Need your advice on configuring sender mail adapter (mail to file scenario ) for exchange server. I have read a lot of SCN threads and other articles and was not able to find the exact solution for this. PI version : 7.3.
Thank you all in advance...

Read multi-tabbed excel file attachments from Sender Mail Adapter.

There is a need to read excel attachments from incoming email to a
mailbox. We know we can use Sender Mail adapter to easily read .xml, .txt
or .csv attachments.
For excel attachments we know from SDN that you have to write
adapter modules to handle excel. However the excel file we need to read has
multiple worksheets(tabs) and data may be contained in any of them.
Is it possible to use SAP XI Mailsender adapter to read such a file as an attachment? What kind of module development would we need for this? I am not much of a Java programmer so examples or links to other documentation would help.
Thanks,
Rudra

Rudra,
Use Java Mapping. There is a free java api available called JExcelAPI to achieve this.
Shabarish's blog describes about this. This might be helpful to you

SEnde Mail adapter problem from txt to xml

Hi All
I have the following scenario - Mail->XI->RFC.
My interface keep crashing because of mapping errors. The attachment I am receiving from 3rd party like follow:
ENG_TYPE|INDUST_NO|COMPANY_NUMBER|SURNAME|INITIALS|NAMES|REGISTERED|MALE|EXPERIENCE|RACE|MARITAL_CODE
V|A0359214|137871|MASSANGO|J|JOSE|2007/01/18|1|458|A|7|4|1953/01/06|SHANGAAN|STANDARD

This is also how the data come into XI, and then the mapping crashes, how do I change to XML for the mapping to no crash.
I cannot seem to find anything on the module configuration to work for the Sender Mail adapter.
Thanks
Clinton

Hi,
1. You can use MessageTranformBean to convert the Text to XML.
Please look into this article for a demo on this,
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f02d12a7-0201-0010-5780-8bfc7d12f891
it talks about JMS but the messagetransformbean can be used for Mail adapters as well.

Outlook Calendar invite - Not able to send from exchange server.

In exchange server/ not outlook installed server, i am getting below error.
"Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))"
Help me to send calendar invite without installing outlook on the specified server. Please do the needful.

Hi
It is probably that the stuff you doing is for outlook and because outlook is not installed it cannot find the classes.

Migrate from Exchange Server 2011 to Mac OSX Lion Mail Server

Hi all,
I'm looking to migrate from Exchange Server 2011 to Mac OSX Lion Mail Server. I work for a company with roughly 30 employees and they use exchange for mail, contacts and calendars. We want to take full advantage of OSX Server and to completly get off of exchange.
What are the best ways to do this? Are there any tools available to help this process?

I agree with the points made by Strontium90. If you have any PCs then Apple's mail/contacts/calendar software is a poor choice. Kerio Connect as a mail/contacts/calendar server would not only support Macs but would also do a good job supporting PCs running Outlook.
If you are going to become a pure Apple site, then you could use just the Apple software and this would be cheaper than using Kerio. For 30 users this might be a suitable solution, however even in a pure Apple environment many people prefer Kerio. For example I find Kerio much more pleasent when dealing with email addresses across multiple domains, email aliases, email group addresses, and so on. Kerio also has built-in email archiving, that is keeping a record of all emails. Kerio also provides a web-browser client for accessing email, calendar and contacts. It is worth noting that as standard Mountain Lion Server no longer includes a webmail feature. While I personally find the Kerio webclient rather ugly it does work.
There are some annoyances I have with Kerio, firstly they have always charged a 'maintenance' fee for their software. This provided access to software updates, and in the past also provided access to Kerio technical support. Unfortunately they now only let you make two (2) support cases per year for that cost, and you now have to pay extra for any more cases. Also while they added support for EWS (Exchange Web Service) to allow using Outlook 2011 for Mac as a supported email client, they did a poor job of this so that it does not work properly with any other EWS compatible client. This means it will not work in EWS mode with Apple Mail, nor with Outlook for Windows. While there are other ways to connect these other clients, this seems a foolish move and there have been plenty of requests to fix this.
Apple's Mail client uses EWS to connect to a 'real' MS Exhange server.

How to retrieve client certificate information from sender mail adapter

Hi, expert:
I have a requirement to verify the validation of coming email with digital certification. The mail is with digital certification. If the coming email is valid, I 'll get the attachemt of the mail for further processing. I have a sender mail adapter and receiver file adapter configued.
I have already my own developed adapter module, which is configued in mail adapter. My question is how to retrieve the detailed certificate information in the adapter module developed by myself. Is it feasible?
Thanks a lot.

The WL-Client-Proxy cert should be the cert used on the proxy side if SSL is configured between Apache and WebLogic, so I believe that is the reason why that does not work. Basically, the problem here is that SSL is end-to-end, and the two ends of this transaction are the client and apache.
That said, when you add the +ExportCertData option, this should record the client's SSL certificate in the vairable SSL_CLIENT_CERT. So you should be able to use request.getAttribute("SSL_CLIENT_CERT").
See:
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_reference.html
If this doesn't work for you (which is possible if the WL_Proxy is doing something funny to the request), it is probably best just to dump out the entire contents of the session, and see what you have:
for (Enumeration e = request.getAttributeNames() ; e.hasMoreElements() ; ) {
String attr = (String)e.nextElement();
System.out.println("ATTR = " + attr);
System.out.println("VAL = " + request.getAttribute(attr));
If you can't see any SSL certificate there, you will have to work out some way to pass this on manually.
cheers,
Trevor

Sender Mail Adapter - forcing content as an attachement

Hi all,
We are using the Sender Mail Adapter to pull emails from the inboxes of some users of an exchange server. We use the Mail Package option.
We have noticed that the content of the emails are by-default added as attachments when there are no real attachments to the emails. However the content is not added as an attachment when one or more attachments are present in these emails.
Is there a way of forcing the Sender Mail Adapter to always add the content as an attachment and keeping the other attachments as well? and of course maintain the Mail Package message type as the main payload...?
Many thanks,
Aldo

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your reply. I am glad to hear that I am wrong again )
In your opinion is it possible to force the Outlook Exchange server to add the content attachment every time? I mean by doing some configuration on it...?
The reason why we would like to do this is because when - in the content tag of a Mail Package message - we have MIME message parts that are of content-type text/html we are having problems in decoding the html back to a readable format.
To do this we use the apache QuotedPrintableCodec Java class.
This works fine when the content type of the message is just text/plain but we get an exception when we try with text/html.
The exception we get is:
org.apache.commons.codec.DecoderException: Invalid URL encoding: not a valid digit (radix 16): 13
I don't know if this is because of the two character sets we have in the payload (utf-8 and iso-8859-1) or if it is for other reasons...
If you could help me figure out how to forward any HTML email to another system in a readable format it would be great.
Thanks for your support,
Aldo

Sender Mail Adapter - S/MIME - How to use it?

Hi guys,
I am trying to figure out how to use the S/MIME security parameter of the Sender Mail Adapter in PI 7.1.
Could anyone point me to some useful documentation/examples/blogs ?
Or perhaps explain what steps are involved when configuring this parameter?
We are pulling emails from an Microsoft Exchange server.
Many thanks,
Aldo

First of all one sender mail adapter has to be tight with a specific sender email address.
The email has to be decrypted as whole, you cannot decrypt parts of it.
Then you store certificates to secure store in J2EE server and point to it in send agreement, this should be equal to HTTPS setup
Check security guide:

Sender Mail Adapter Error: exception caught during processing mail message;

HI , I am configuring mail to file scenario. Need to read mail content (no need to capture From,TO or Subject details) and create a file with the content in the mail.
Need to read mails from microsoft outlook. Exchange server has been configured for POP3 protocol.
Following are the details provoding in sender mail adapter:
URL: provided url in the format: pop://<server name>
Authentication method: plain
provided user credinetions to access mails.
poll interval - 1min
content encoding none.
processing parameters : quality of service-exactly once
Since there is no need to capture From,TO or Subject details, didn't select the option - use mail package.
Verified for unread mails in the mail box and made sure that there are few unread mails.
Also, created data types and other components in IR and completed mapping.
But after starting sender mail communication channel, getting error "exception caught during processing mail message; java.lang.NullPointerException" in RWB-adapter-communication channel monitoring.
please let me know what needs to be done to resolve this error.
Thanks.

HI Stefan, i tried, but still it is giving same error. Yes, i am able to access outlook mail with the user credentials given in the communication channel to access exchange server.
I am using message protocol: xipayload . Also since i dont have to capture TO,from,subject details., created data type just with one element of type string, not in the standard format .Does this makes any difference.

How to determine the protocol to use in Sender mail Adapter ?

Hi All
Can i use my Microsoft Exhange Server address while configuring Sender Mail Adapter .? If yes , then which protocol i can use out of IMAP and POP ?..
How do i determine which protocol i should use to connect to my exchange server ?
Thanks
rohan

Hi Rohan,
//Can i use my Microsoft Exhange Server address while configuring Sender Mail Adapter .?
Yes, you can.
//If yes , then which protocol i can use out of IMAP and POP ?..
You can use either of them. To know more on IMAP and POP, i would suggest you go through these links,
http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/cc/documentation/email/IMAP_vs_POP/default.htm
http://www.imap.org/papers/imap.vs.pop.brief.html
If your are using IMAP, you will have to specify, which folder from which you wnaty the emmail to be retrived, this is not needed for POP.
Hope this helps,

A few days it works, but suddenly no mails are received.

When I deactivate and activate the mail adapter, all mails are read then.
Pollinterval: 1 minute

Who can help me are had s similar problem?
Or is it possible to stop/start the mail adapter (or the adapter engine) automaitcally (more like a workarround)

Security requirements on sender mail adapter

I have set up a sender mail adapter to fetch the email with attachment from MS exchange mail server. The sender mail adapter can process the attachment well and convert it to XML format. Now I have a new requirement to determine if the email comes from a particular user. I can see the FROM field in the payload "MailMessage" But I don't know how to get the value of this field. Any idea on how to set up the message mapping? Thanks in advance.

Before the sender mail adapter processes the attachment in the email, it need to determine the email is actaully from the business user not someone else on server. Cuz everyone can send email to the email address the mail adapter connects to, that is why this security issue comes from.
Basically when you fetch a email with attachment, in Sxi_monitor, you can see two field in the payload, One is MailMessage and the other is MailAttachment-1. In the MailMessage, you can see all the emial header fields, such as From, To, Subject, Content etc. I need to check if the FROM field is email address we allowed. That is basic requirements. Let me knwo if you want me to explain it further.

Hi Gangisetty,
    SMTP is the out going server(for sending mails out) while POP3 is the in coming(receiving mails) server. So for a sender channel, you need to use the POP server details not SMTP.

Sender Mail Adapter issue

Hi All,
We are getting this error in Sender Mail adapter.
"exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.ConnectException: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation"
It is a (Lotus Notes) Mail to File scenario.
Used POP3, and gave the URL as POP:// ** .
I have tried pinging the server and getting a good response.
I have also tried the OS01 ans it returned a response : Program Terminated.
I am not sure if the POP3 port is enabled.
Are there any check points we are missing ?
Please throw some light on this as we need to solve this asap ..
Yashwanth
Edited by: YashwanthSVK on Aug 2, 2011 7:18 PM

Shabarish is right.
This seem a connectivity issue. Try to ping Mail server from your PI System and check pop3 port.
