Sending mail

When I try to send mail this error message appears: This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The server "smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com" cannot be contacted on port 25.
I am using my AirPort wireless connection. It is not my own but someone that is in the neiborhood Can anyone assist me?

Most if not all ISPs now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25 which is the standard or default port used for SMTP servers. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network (such as the .Mac SMTP server) on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
First thing to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work and you are also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP with the Mail.app and you are able to send messages with your ISP's account, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

How to send Mail in case of Output Determination - Transmission medium 5

Dear Friends,
I have a below requirement.
- Create custom output type having Transmission medium 5, which triggers on creation of order.
- Write driver program attached to that output type that sends e-mail to the person who has created the order.
- Mail contain information regarding pricing for individual line item wise.
I have gone through many posts but not sure about process of generate the mail in case of Transmission medium 5.
My query is:
Do we require to write FM (SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1) to send e-mail to respective person or it will take care by system (Transmission medium 5)?
If FM not required then how can we write code that triggers the mail to specific mail ID?
Nilay

Yes, for your custom requirement you will have to create a Z report.
LIke your requirement must be to put something specific in mail body or attach something with mail. All this will not be catered by the standard report maintained against your output type and transmission medium.
As i understand for any output type a message is triggerd and stored in database table (like NAST) and then these requests are picked by standard report (like RSNAST00). These reports then in return call the Program/form maintained against the ouptut type and transmission medium (table TNAPR).
So i would suggest that create a custom report and use the FM for sending mails. These FMs are pretty simple to use. Find a sample code in the below link:

Hi Arpit,
Take a look at the documentation of FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1' for parameter PACKING_LIST. I think you should set t_packing_list-head_num to a different value than 0 for the second attachment.

Sender Mail Adapter

Hi,
I am working on Sender Mail Adapter. I have done the total configuration but unable to sucess the scenarios. In the CC monitoring, it is saying that "Not Intialised" Even though i send and receive the messages from My Lotus Notes Inbox. I activated all the objects.
I have done the following examples:
Transport Protocal: POP3
Message Protocal: XIALL
Given the URL and UserId and PWD also
Poll Intevel: 1 (Mins)
Adapter Status: Active
Please help to me solve this problem. I already raised the one more thread today but didn't get solutions.
Note: Do i need to do any setting from the Lotus notes(Mail Server) to diver my messages.
Thanks in Advance,
I found the problem with SMTP Address. Can i use the SMTP Url for POP3 or IMP4 protocal. Is there any thing else because if i use the Same SMTP Address, it is giving exception
Best Regards,
Vijay

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 - 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 Configuration - Process Multiple Attachments

Dear sirs,
I need to process several attachments at the same mail message as individual payloads.
In default configuration of sender mail adapter only the body of message is used as payload.
So I added PayloadSwapBean Module at Processing Sequence and it processed the attachment I set in Module Configuration. I'm not able to process all attachments available, just one attachment is sent to PI pipeline.
How can I process all attachments of a single mail message?
Thank you in advance.

Sender Mail adapter encounters MalformedInputException

I have a sender mail adapter that processes the attached .csv file. All is working fine. I use FCC in module to convert the attachment and pass to an IDOC adapter for processing in SAP system.
My problem is sometimes the sender mail CC fails with ...........
exception caught during processing mail message[1]; com.sap.aii.af.mp.module.ModuleException: Transform: failed to execute the transformation: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: 'sun.io.MalformedInputException'; nested exception caused by: sun.io.MalformedInputException caused by: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: 'sun.io.MalformedInputException'; nested exception caused by: sun.io.MalformedInputException
It only fails with some files. At the moment when we test we FORWARD the email to our email account. If I detach the failed email attachment and attach it to a NEW email it will then work.
So why does it not work when forwarding emails? But it works when I attach the same file to a new email and send?
Other threads for this error seem to point to encoding. But how do I know which to use. I currently use the following in my module config:
Transfer.ContentType     application/octet-stream;charset="ISO-8859-1"

I have this in my configuration:

TRANSFORM

Sender "Mail" adapter - CSV file attachment

Hi there
I'm looking for some help in configuring a sender mail adapter that receives ".csv" files. I did read some blogs that mention using the "PayloadSwapBean" module to read the mail attachment instead of the mail content. My problem is to now convert the ".csv" file into a message. Is there a module that I can use ( is it the "MessageTransfomBean" ) and how. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Salil

Hi Salil,
If you want to send a mail with a body and attachments, the message sender HAS to provide an XI message with attachments. I doubt a CSV file does justice.
As Renjith said you need to convert CSV to XmL.
A short description about the Standard Modules:
MessageTransformationBean is a standard module used to apply the XSLT mapping to the adapter module by using Transform.class ( This xslt mapping is done to create a mail package, Dont confuse with the actual mapping in your case this is NOT for converting csv to xml).
Also this module can be used to change the name and type of payloads by using Transform.contentType, Transform.contentDisposition, Transform.contentDescription.
PayloadSwapbean is a standard module for replacing payloads with other payloads (SWAP)
If you want to give each attachment a certain name use Parameters, swap.keyname for name of the payload and swap.keyvalue.
I Hope the use of standard modules is understood.

Sender Mail Adapter, technical Acknowledgement

Hi all,
I have a SMTP --> XI --> Proxy Scenario. For the inbound message I get via SMTP, I'd like to send a technical acknowledgement back to the Sender (via SMTP, too). The acknowledgement has a specific message structure, for example it contains the DocumentID of the inbound message I get via SMTP.
My idea now is: Within ReceiverDetermination, I configure two receivers:
1. Backend system for the Inbound Proxy
2. original Sender System
Within Interface Determination, I'll do 2 mappings:
1. Mapping from source message to ABAP proxy interface
2. Mapping from source message to technical acknowledgement structure
Then, receiver agreements / receiver communication channels for both interfaces.
My question now is: is there a more elegant solution then doing the scenario like described above? Maybe something I can do in the Sender Mail Adapter to create the specific technical acknowledgement and sent it back to the sending application?
Best regards
Holger

Hi Holger !
XI supported acks are not available for your scenariom because the smtp/mail sender cannot request it.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/frameset.htm
You should create some kind of artificial ack, that should be part of your own protocol. What I meant with the SYNC proxy, is to use its response message as your own defined ack, because it is not supported as is.
If you call your proxy async, then you will not receive any feedback to use it as ack info.
Another idea could be to forget the ack per se, and just use define an alert in case of problems with the scenario to send a mail to the specified users.

Matias

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 configuration with attachment

Hi,
I read the below blog regarding the mail adapter
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step
I have the same requirement but the attachment file is not an XML, it is CSV file so in the module tab if I change like below is it enough?
TRANSFORM swap.keyValue attachment; filename=u201DMailAttachment-1.csvu201D (I think MailAttachment-1 is the file name, am I correct?)
If I change like above is it ok? or any other thing is required, Could you please give me the inputs
Thanks
Ramesh

I have the same requirement but the attachment file is not an XML, it is CSV file so in the module tab if I change like below is
it enough?
PayloadSwapBean will ensure that the input to the mapping is from the attachment.....in the blog the attachment is in XML format and hence there was no need for any conversion.....yours is however a CSV file so you need to convert it to XML first and then do the further processing.....you can either use the MessageTransformationBean as shown in this blog:
/people/gabrielsagayaselvam.panneerselvam/blog/2009/08/31/solve-key-field-problem-using-structplain2xml-in-messagetransformationbean
Or write your own module code for the conversion.

Abhishek.

Sender Mail Adapter with PayloadSwapBean

Hello Experts!
I have a Sender Mail Adapter receiving emails with attachments! I'm using PayloadSwapBean, because I have to manipulate (to do mapping) the XML attachment.
Sender Mail Adapter Configuration:
Default Interface Namespace = urn:mynamespace.com
Default Interface Name = abs_async_myInterface
swap.keyName = Content-Disposition
swap.keyName = Content-Description
swap.keyValue = attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
swap.keyValue = MailAttachment-1
Well, my problems are:
1) Although my Default Interface Namespace is urn:mynamespace.com, sometimes the namespace that cames to SXMB_MONI is http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail. In that case, an Receiver Determination error happens.
2) My XML can be the first (MailAttachment-1), the second (MailAttachment-2), the third (MailAttachment-3), or any other attachment position. Since my swap.keyValue is set to "MailAttachment-1", I'm able to pick the XML only if it is the first attachment.

Hi Julio,
Writing an Adapter Module for the same can make your task easy.

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.

Sender Mail Adapter - default interface name

Hi,
I need to receive through one e-mail sender channel tree different kind of messages.
In sender mail adapter I specify ecept other parameters "Default Interface Name". When I send a message with a same as defined in an interface the message is processed correctly.
But when I send a different kind of message then I get an error : "Receiver could not be determined".
Is any way around how through one sender e-mail adapter receive a different kinds of messages ?
Thanks for any help,
Marian

Hello Marzian,
have you find a solution for this problem?
We're facing the same issue.

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.

Sender Mail Adapter - java.lang.NullPointerException in CC monitoring

hi,
I configured my Sender Mail Adapter correctly.
I have the correct POP URL, authentication. I'm not using PayloadSwapBean right now.
I can't get rid of the exception inside my Channel monitoring.
exception caught during processing mail message; java.lang.NullPointerException
does anyone know why?
I've been told the POP account has emails already.
I will try to create an outlook account for this POP e-mail account in the mean time to see the e-mails.
Thank you

thanks aaron.
I don't see the folder ./SYS/../j2ee/...
will it be under another folder? I don't see a trace log folder either.
I think the problem might be in the Module tab.
I tried.
AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
/localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
/localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
they all produce the same error. I wonder if these Beans actually exist.
I think we might have to reinstall this Mail Adapter altogether.
Or maybe it's really the connection to the Mail Server. But would it display this kind of message.
This is what I'm looking at.
Also, i had to use this URL
pop://server:995/
(995 is using SSL and it is the default port). When I use this, I see the Java Null Pointer Exception a lot less frequently. Weird.
