Sending mail to domains containing extended characters?

Hi!
I'm having trouble sending e-mail with cfmail to domains
containing characters like å ä ö. In mail.log I get
the following message: "508 5.5.2 Illegal character in address".
Is this a bug or a setting somewhere in the Administrator?
Thanks in advance!

Johan Fiske

According to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_system#Internationalised_domain_names,
it's legal to have those sort of characters in a domain name,
but not a
host name.
But according to this:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/Address.html,
it
sticks to RFC 822 (
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc822.txt),
which doesn't seem
to differentiate between the host part and the domain part of
an address,
and only allows for ASCII 0-127 in the domain name.
So the bottom line is those domain names - for the purposes
of internet
email addressing - aren't actually legal. So - strictly
speaking - it's
correct for CF to reject them.
I would say you're screwed, unless you can find some
alterative emailing
system (not <cfmail>), and use that. But then again,
the alternatives
could quite possibly disallow those addresses too.

Flatten to string for sending through TCP/IP contains CRLF characters

Hi,
I'm using a 'flatten to string' function to send some data through TCP/IP.
To minimise delays, I use the CRLF mode so that the receive function returns as soon as it receives a CRLF sequence (termination character).
I noted that every now and then only part of the data is transmitted because the flattened string itself sometimes (albeit rarely) contains CRLF characters.
I was wondering if this is correct behaviour, or if I'm missing something.I expected flatten to string to produce pure ASCII strings without special characters.
Now I first have to scan the string and replace possible CRLF characters by some known series of characters and do the opposite on the receiving side, and hope that this particular sequence never occurs.
Any comment is appreciated,

Hi,
thanks for the feedback. I'll use the way you describe, by first sending the number of characters to expect.

Make sure you are consistent with the format for the number of butes. That is, always use an 8, 16 or 32 bit value. Which one you use is up to you and will depend on the size of your data. A 32 bit value is the most common size to use. Anyway what I am basically saying is that if you are inconsistent with what size number you use for the size you will get inconsistent results when you read the data since you will be interpretting the size incorrectly some of the time.

Using Multiline Container element in sending mail

Hi,
I am sending mail with Multiline Container element APTEXT.
I put &APTEXT##& Is this right ?
But when I have 2 lines of data, its sending mail with only one line.
Thanks

It is my personal observation that if the line size is more than 132 charecters then it will display like that.
So do like this
1. First make the row size as 125.
2. and when you are selecting the multiline container element in the mail content, then it will ask you 3 options selct the option Print line by line then check the mail.
It worked in my case.

Sending mail to a particular positon in org structure via workflow

hi all
i have a problem regarding sending mail to particular position in org structure on runtime execution via workflow so that i neednt hard court the particular position
to achieve this i am using expressions,first i have created a new container element and then i have used container operation like this:
(lead.employee responsible.business partner= container element defined by me)
when i first try to execute the workflow and test it ,in the container i am getting the value of the container element in which i have the position where i have to send the mail.but inspite of value getting populated ,when i am using that container element to send mail like:
expression: container element
the mail is not send,when i checked the log it is mentioned that " you are not the authorised person to stsart the workflow and start failed" but workflow is still triggered and i am able to pass the object but not able to send the mail.
please tell me is there any feasible way to achieve this,like rule or in my way how is it able to achieve
detailed possible solution will really be appreciated.on thing we are working on CRM 5.0 standalone system
full marks will be rewarded
best regards
ashish

Hi,
Follow this ,
Goto PFTC -> Choose "Workflow Template" from the drop down -> Enter the workflow template id "123********" in the text box -> now click on "change" button -> Now goto the menu addional data -> agent assignment -> maintain -> select the task text -> and set it as general task.
I guess you have done the same for the standard task TS*********** but failed to do it for the workflow template (WS123*************). Or have you done it already?
Also once you make this change "Refresh your buffers" once before checking it out.

Alert not sending mail even if executed successfully.

hi all,
I have created alert in R12 environment. it is periodic alert which will fire everyday.
There are 2 actions
1. Run the Concurrent program and insert values emp_no,emp_name,manager_name,manager_mail into custom table.
2. Send mail to manager_mail containing data like emp_no and emp_name.
I encapsulated both the action in one action set. Sequencing 1. Concurrent Program ( Detail Level) 2. Send mail (detail level)
When i am executing alert, it is ending with completed successfully. It is inserting data into custom table but it is not sending mail to manager mail id.
When i tried to check history, it is showing 'n' number of exceptions, but all those exception are not available in FIND EXCEPTION tab.
I m not able to find out, what exactly wrong i have done.
Query is:
Select emp_no,emp_name,manager_name,manager_mail into
&l_emp_no,&emp_name,l_manager_name,l_manager_mail from xx_alert_table_data;
and I am passing &l_manager_mail into 'To' section of send_mail action. it is not containing any null data. all the email address are present in that field.
please suggest if i m doing anything wrong.

Just putting the data into tables is not the actual process, performing the connection to the email server and sending email.
Underneath it's a multilayered process .
Oracle Alert uses Oracle Workflow Notification mailer for sending requests, which in turn uses mailer program to send mails.
So, you need first to check the state of Notification mailer then locate logs of the mailer utulity used by these and see whether there were any connection/negotiation errors and what information in header fields has been actually sent.
To see notification mailer program status change responsibility to Workflow Manager, then go to "Service Components" section and find there Workflow Notification process.
To find the mailer type, change responsibility to Alert Manager, then go to System->Options and see which mailer is in use.
Usually on Unix, sendmail is used, so you may easily turn on debug logging and see the mail headers and complete negitiation logs, if you need them.

Sendmail sends mail to yahoo but not local domain

Hi,
I havent worked much on sendmail at all, and as I know it its already configured in Solaris 10 and we just have to put in the relevant entries of DNS etc to make it work. Now the problem is when I use the command mailx to send mail, it is sending it to addresses like yahoo and hotmail, but no email is received on the local addresses on local domain. Example:
mailx -v [email protected] ----------------------> works, but
mailx -v [email protected] ------------------> doesn't work (no email is received)
Can someone please guide me as to what the issue could be? Thanks,
Raza

you will need to provide some additional info.
What is your DS entry configured to in sendmail.cf this should be your mail bridge. Based on the fact that you can send to yahoo.com it sound like this is working.
For local email need to check your domain entry /etc/resolv.conf. This needs to match your systems domain name. This file may also contain a SEARCH entry which would allow email to check multiple domains.
You can also look at the sendmail log to see what sendmail is doing with the email request. Posting the output from mailx -v would help.
Finally make sure that the sendmail daemon is running if you want your unix machine to receive in bound email.

Sending mail to invalid mail address but domain valid.im not getting any NDR

In my organisation I'm sending mail to invalid email address but domain is valid ...i'm not getting any NDR. I want NDR like this

Hi,
Please check whether other users can receive NDR message when sending mails to invalid email address. If the issue happens to all users and all related configurations are proper, please check whether there are any transport rules directly

Sending Mail from workflow or updating container elements

Dear friends,
I'm new to work flow.
My requirement: <b>send mail from workflow to a user after dead line is missed</b> I do not want to use messages in 'Latest end' tab. I want to send mail.
The mail id of the user is determined in the previous step using a FM. How do I use this mail id to send the mail. I thought of using 'Rule' option in 'Send Mail' (and use same FM)but thats not possible. In that case how do I pass the mail id value to the WF container from the FM?
I also tried this idea:
created a task with BOR object SELFITEM, method 'SENDTASKDESCRIPTION' .
*in an activity step used this task and filled the 'Rule' option in notification tab appropriately
*in this case the WF goes into an error '.....error executing 'sendtaskdescription' .....'
*i would prefer using the activity step because, the mail has to be sent after a delay
Is there any other simple method to do this?
My problem would be solved even if someone can show me how to transfer values from a FM into a WF container.
Can someone please explain?

windows live mail having problem after joining in domain examples incoming is good but sent or outgoing is not there and also send mails are not exporting at the time of live mail exporting time?

This is not usually related to AD issues, but it may be more of a DNS issue. I posted a request in your other thread to post an unedited ipconfig /all of the DC and of the client.
This may help use diagnose this issue and your other thread's printer issues.

Mail: "Message contains NUL characters," not listed in ANY folder

On occasion, I will hear a new message sound in Mail, and I will see the little progress indicator showing an incoming message, but there is no trace of it in the inbox. If I am there to see the incoming notice and remember the message content, I can search for the message content in Spotlight and it will open the message. But if I then click "Show in Mailbox," it opens a Mail list window that is empty and labeled "No mailbox." If I try to move the message by dragging its title bar icon, nothing happens. If I try to use the Move command, I get "Append failed: Message contains NUL characters." If I command-click the message title bar, it tells me it's inside the inbox, but again it won't list it in the inbox. The physical message file itself resides in the Inbox folder in the Mail folder on the desktop. Rebuilding the mailbox does not make it appear in the list.
I've found various workarounds for shaking Mail into realizing the message exists and listing it, but my real question is this: The above is when I notice that a message has come in but is not listed. But what about messages that come in and are not listed, and I do not know they are there because I wasn't around when they came in?
How can I use a mail rule or other tool to locate messages that are not listed in any mailbox, or contain NUL characters?
I would really like to know if I've missed any important messages because they never appeared in the list, even though they exist somewhere.
Mail will not allow me to set up a mail rule on folders when no folder is specified.

One thing I can suggest you try is to move the Envelope Index files from your User Library>Mail Folder>MailData.
Quit Mail first, navigate to those files and move them to the desktop. Restart Mail. It should give a message that you need to Import your mail. Click continue. That should reindex all your mail messages.
This should help with wrong message counts, ghost messages, and hidden message problems.
Once Mail is running and OK, you can trash those files.
