Sending mail thru external ISP, authentication problem

Hello all,
i have a little problem that im sure some of you can help me fix. I have a mail server running on a Xserve G5 with 10.4.6. It runs on a local (private) network, mails a polled with fetchmail. Everything works fine except that i can't send mails thru my ISP. Heres what the smtp protokoll says:
May 4 08:56:58 mediatelserver postfix/smtp[3231]: 94CD148774: to=<[email protected]>, relay=smtp.serverkompetenz.de[81.169.163.72], delay=0, status=bounced (host smtp.serverkompetenz.de[81.169.163.72] said: 550 Anmeldung erforderlich / Authentication required (in reply to MAIL FROM command))
Due to the fact that my ISP doesn't support SMTP AUTH or TLS, i have to authenticate with plain user/password. My question is, how can i do this?
Heres the postconf -n output. I've done some "testing" on it
alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debugpeerlevel = 2
enableserveroptions = yes
inet_interfaces = all
mail_owner = postfix
mailbox_transport = cyrus
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
messagesizelimit = 0
mydomain = mediatel.private
mydomain_fallback = localhost
myhostname = mediatelserver.mediatel.private
mynetworks = 127.0.0.1/32,10.10.10.0/24
mynetworks_style = subnet
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
queue_directory = /private/var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix
relayhost = smtp.serverkompetenz.de
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/examples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
setgid_group = postdrop
smtpdpw_server_securityoptions = plain
smtpdrecipientrestrictions = permitsasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauthdestination,permit
smtpdsasl_authenable = yes

Thanks in advance

I see the problem, as we had exactly the same problems. We have a XServe fetching the mails from a ISP with POP. The clients however connect to the Xserve with IMAP. There are clients with 7GB of mailbox size. So, once more: that is the recieving and hosting part.
If the client sends a mail, it sends it with SMTP to the XServe. But then: why to SMTP to the ISP instead of SMTP to the final destination directly? This has nothing to do with the client, because in both cases, the client connects only to the XServe.
So: deactivate this checkbox "Alle Nachrichten über diesen Host weiterleiten" and have fun!! At least: give it a try.
cheers

Failed to send mail to external domain via portal

Hi Gurus,
By following the configuraion instructions in SAP library - Collaboration - Groupware - Installing and Configuring E-Mail Connectivity, I managed to send mail to recipients who reside in same domain e.g. [email protected] via portal.
However, I failed to send mail to external domain e.g. [email protected]. I got the following error message:
The mail could not be sent to the specified recipients com.sap.ip.collaboration.gw.impl.transport.javamail.exception.MailSendException: The mail could not be sent to the specified recipients
 at com.sap.ip.collaboration.gw.impl.transport.javamail.JavaMailTransport.sendMail(JavaMailTransport.java:183)
--------- exception is chained. Original exception ------------

 at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:320)
Please help.
Thanks alot.

Hi Ajey,
Thanks for your reply. I had tried your suggestion but same problem occurred with same error output.
Actually, I encounterred this error message before in my Microsoft Outlook, where System Admin returned me a mail saying that, my mail was undeliverable with the same error message. But this can be solved by applying the Internet Email Account Setting - Outgoing Server - My outgoing server (SMTP) require authentication.
So I am wondering,
1) This problem is caused by SMTP server?
2) Is there any workaround (like the Outlook Setting) I can configure in Portal?
Do you have any idea?
Thanks,
HauChee

Can't send any mailcan't send mail thru

Using 10.4.11
called my isp, that didn't help. with my isp account i got this message"5.1.0 Authentication required"
can't send mail thru any of my domains eithers

Who is your ISP, and who are your email providers? What are the specific settings for the Incoming and Outgoing mail servers, including account type (POP or IMAP), port numbers, authentication method, and whether or not SSL is enabled for either? More details.

Sending mail to external mailid from user exit EXIT_SAPLEBNF_005

they can either define automatic forwarding in their SAP office to external e-mail OR they can set their external e-mail as preferred method of communication and they should receive mail to their external mailbox assuming that sending to external mail is supported in your system (check with BASIS folks).

Hi,
Hi,
It is posible to send the mail to external address usign the above FM . But some configurations have to be maitnaied in SCOT Tcode for INT (Internet) ->SMTP protocal. we need to give the Mail Host and Mail Port all this information is usually done by the BASIS. Please approach them for these settings and try again with the FM. Here we have to configure it to Yahoo so that we can send the mail.

Outlook does not send mail to extern domains

It says that "[550] 5.7.1 Rcpt command failed: Mail denied due to site's policy".
Web Access Client at the same time send mail to outside without any problems.
Outlook connector and Collaboration Suite ver. - 10.1.2.
Where is problem?

you should change the next value in smtp inbound
Enable Routing Control : active
allow message relay : true
allow message relay domain : *
flag process: -l
Recipient Rewriting Rules: $*@your host target smtp,$1@your domain target smtp,
example:
$*@mail.sinux.com.pe,$[email protected],
you should change the next value in smtp outbound
rele smtp : ip of your source mail or relay :port smtp
flag process: -l

Sending mail to external system in sap 4.6c

Hi WF experts,
We are configuring sending mails to external system in sap4.6c.
sxdump20.exe is kept on the frontend and created RFC destination with path to sxdump20.exe.
same RFC destination is given while configuring in SCOT trxn.
From SAP, mails are successfully sent and getting message in SOST as delivered to recipent.
But recipent is not receiving mails in his inbox ( outlook express,gmail,hotmail etc ).
Any solution from you will be of great help.
simha

Hi,
Make sure that the mail sent from SAP 4.6C are not declared as "Bad Mails" at your Mail Server/SMTP Gateways, possibly due to some technical reason. (such as sender address is not correct, any other SMTP errors, etc...etc.).
Ask your network/system admin to verify it.

Hi,
The 'SendMail' activity is failing in my workflow if I give the Recipient type 'E-mail Address' and hard code the email id. I tried the other way of giving expression also, both have resulted in error halting the workflow.
Is there any other configuration need to be done to send mail to external system (mail server) ? Please help .

Problem in sending mail thru SAP.

Hi All
I have typical problem in sending Purchase order thru mail to vendor.
We are sending Purchase Order to our vendor thru mail and copy of purchase order as attachment in pdf file.
I am sending Purchase Order number 45XXXX01, vendor is getting something else say 45XXXX03. But when I checked the same in outbox in SAP business workplace then it is found correct i.e. Purchase Order number 45XXXX01 but when vendor open his attachment then he is found Purchase Order number 45XXXX03.
Following FMu2019s are used in y-program to send mail.
CONVERT_OTF u2013 To convert into pdf.
SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 u2013 To send mail.
I do not understand why it is happening.
Kindly suggest something to overcome this.
Regards,
Rajesh Vasudeva

1 > When you send the mail , after running ur program , you furst open the sent data from SOST or SCOTT etc. and see is it a correct data.
2 > Try sending the mail to urself , also try to mention ur id along with vendors Id and see what do u get also same time check what r u sending.
Hopefully it will give you some idea.

Problem in workflow sending mails to external domains like yahoo,gmail etc.

hi
i have one probs in my workflow that when i am sending mail to an external id it is not going to gmail,yahoo or hotmail etc.
it is being send to a particular domain say XYZ
but outside it ,no mail is send
and error is coming that recepient is unknown
we have firewalls being placed on smtp
and each and every setting in SCOT has been checked thorughly
but still mail except to one domain is not going outside
i have came across the info that since SAP doesn have any user id authentication but SMTP does has ,so when mail is being send outside the mail sending is failed,one option could be to disable the authentication at SMTP but thats doesn come inside the policy of client
so i think there must be a way out in SAP to deal with this
please suggest how can i send the mails externally,i ahve checked each and every thing inside my SMTP configuration ,adress is defined as * here but still mail is being send to internal domain of the client in which i am working ,but not at all to the external domains like gmail,yahoo etc.
any help will be highly appreciated
best regards
ashish

Hi Ashish,
I think you will need to check with your exchange guys because probably the exchange server will not relay the messages form the SAP server to external e-mail domains.

But there is a (high) possibility that Gmail's server requires authentication (or certification) to connect to it.
I wonder if they're simply silently dropping emails in certain cases. I forgot earlier that I have a Gmail account. If I send an email from the command line on my home computer, which is on Comcast, the mail log shows that I successfully connect to Gmail, the message is sent and accepted by Gmail, but the email never arrives in my inbox. I've tried several times with the same result.
However, emails from a web server from work get through to Gmail without a problem. So I'd bet it's a case of them not delivering mail from Comcast IP addresses.
For grins, I also tried sending to my Yahoo email account from my home computer and their server at least refuses the connection and I get an error message stating that it's because it's a residential IP address.
In this case you need an SMTP client (=a software which directly sends the mail to the Gmail server) which supports authentication.
I think this might also be possible with Postfix by editing the configuration files. I know I had to set up authentication to send emails to my work address directly from my home computers, but I haven't been able to get the same thing to work with Gmail yet. If I get a chance, I'll look into it again later tonight.
