Sending mails without using sendmail service. Is that possible?
Hi all,
I am considerably new to Solaris.
I have a query,
Is it possible to send mails out without using sendmail service?
If so how can they be implemented in,
Solaris 7?
Solaris 8?
Solaris 9?
If it is not possible, are there any workarounds to achieve this or else this cannot be implemented at all?
It would be really great if someone could shed light on this query.
Your question is a little ambiguous. However, I will try to answer it.
You need to use a program to send the email for you. On Solaris by default this is sendmail. However, it can be used in a number of modes.
1. It can be run as a daemon, listening on port 25 for new messages to be delivered to it.
This is enabled by default but is not necessary for sending email. If you wish to switch sendmail off as a service in Solaris10 then you should type 'svcadm disable svc:/network/smtp:sendmail'. If you wish to switch it off on earlier Solaris releases you will need to move/erase the startup script in either /etc/rc2.d or /etc/rc3.d.
2. It can be run in 'immediate mode' to send mail immediately.
This allows you to send a mail directly to someone. On a normally configured sendmail instance it will try to deliver the mail immediately - if the server at the other end is unavailable, the mail will be queued locally to be potentially delivered at a later date.
3. It can run in delivery only mode to attempt to send queued mail
Queued mail will not automatically get processed. Sendmail needs to run at a later date to attempt to deliver any queued mail. This can either be done via cron using 'sendmail -q' or sendmail can be left running the whole time and told to rerun the queue in given periods ie 'sendmail -q15m'
There are alternatives to sendmail for delivering mail - postfix, exim, qmail are just three examples. I would advise against trying to deliver mail without using a specific mail agent to do it. Whilst the SMTP mail protocol is pretty simple in basic use cases the protocol does get complex. There is no real downside in using an established program.
HTH.

A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last weekSorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use. -

Can't send mail when using mobile broadband
Hi
I am getting quite frustrated as I can't send mail when using my mobile broadband modem! I can receive mail, and surf the internet etc, but mail just wont send!(i get the usual cannot send try later/resend options). I thought this might be an issue with my mobile broadband but have recently reinstalled it. When at home on a wireless network I have no such issues.
Any help appreciated

Even though your e-mail service uses the same URL for POP3 and SMTP servers, in the software sense you actually do have separate POP3 and SMTP servers, although they may be hosted on the same machine, or the requests are routed via some "smoke and mirrors" to the right host.
It is not related to my ISP at home, which is Virgin media. My mobile broadband provider is 3. I was thinking it might be that I need to change the port settings in mail when using my mobile modem, but don't know what to change them too(or how to do it!) or configure the modem differently but again not sure what to do there!
Check with the freeparking online help to see if it supports port 587 or some such.
Also try Mail's "Connection Doctor" (under the Window menu) when you're away from home to see if that shows anything useful.
Since you can send e-mail from that SMTP server when you're at home but not when you're using your mobile broadband, I think one of two possibilities is likely: (a) Your mobile broadband provider is blocking your attempts to access the freeparking SMTP server and/or port. (b) The freeparking SMPT server for some reason doesn't like being communicated with via your mobile broadband provider. I'd check with each of them to explore these options.
Does your mobile broadband provider have an SMTP server that you can use instead of the freeparking one?
My modem(Huawei E220) is not particularly Mac friendly as it is, and I believe Mail can be quite sensitive when servers don't respond immediately?
Yes. Mail seems to have a fixed time-out value for server responses. -

How to create different Graphs in SharePoint 2013 without using Excel service?
Hi All,
I want to create different graphs in SharePoint without using Excel Service.
I do not want to create excel and then upload that to SharePoint.
Any one knows how to do that? Isthere any option to do that?
Thanks in AdvanceHi Darsh,
You can use
SharePoint chart webpart to display charts. Or you can use any jQuery charting library and feed data using JSOM or REST. Ex. high charts:

CallableStatement using named parameters: is that possible?
Hi,
Can I use named parameter in a statement to be executed with CallableStatement, in stead of using :1, :2, etc ?
thanks
RonnyYour question is a little ambiguous. However, I will try to answer it.
You need to use a program to send the email for you. On Solaris by default this is sendmail. However, it can be used in a number of modes.
1. It can be run as a daemon, listening on port 25 for new messages to be delivered to it.
This is enabled by default but is not necessary for sending email. If you wish to switch sendmail off as a service in Solaris10 then you should type 'svcadm disable svc:/network/smtp:sendmail'. If you wish to switch it off on earlier Solaris releases you will need to move/erase the startup script in either /etc/rc2.d or /etc/rc3.d.
2. It can be run in 'immediate mode' to send mail immediately.
This allows you to send a mail directly to someone. On a normally configured sendmail instance it will try to deliver the mail immediately - if the server at the other end is unavailable, the mail will be queued locally to be potentially delivered at a later date.
3. It can run in delivery only mode to attempt to send queued mail
Queued mail will not automatically get processed. Sendmail needs to run at a later date to attempt to deliver any queued mail. This can either be done via cron using 'sendmail -q' or sendmail can be left running the whole time and told to rerun the queue in given periods ie 'sendmail -q15m'
There are alternatives to sendmail for delivering mail - postfix, exim, qmail are just three examples. I would advise against trying to deliver mail without using a specific mail agent to do it. Whilst the SMTP mail protocol is pretty simple in basic use cases the protocol does get complex. There is no real downside in using an established program.

Sending mail from using utl_smtp error......
Hi
When i try to send mail like as follows
DECLARE
v_connection UTL_SMTP.CONNECTION;
BEGIN
v_connection := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx',25);
UTL_SMTP.HELO(v_connection,'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx');

UTL_SMTP.RCPT(v_connection,'[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.DATA(v_connection,'Sent From PL/SQL');
UTL_SMTP.QUIT(v_connection);
END;
I get the following error..

smtp : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
and i have to tick the "My server requires authentication" option
and have to give the setting for that also
ie. log on using account : [email protected]
password: xxxxxx
How to Correct it ?
Krisi am on the same platform and in same account..... and PL/SQL UTL_SMTP gets a connection plus SMTP error, while telnet cannot even get a connection. A very weird one. Not sure what the problem can be.
Worse case, forget telnet and do all your troubleshooting using UTL_SMTP.. with liberal usage of DBMS_OUTPUT. :-)
regd. the connection from my xp client it is
connecting to the telnet server on server, but when i
tri to connect to the ISP's smtp address it throws
the errorNot that strange. You're likely going through a proxy of sorts of to reach the ISP mail server. Besides, to send mail you should be able to use your company's SMTP server as it should route Internet e-mail out to the net automatically.
In fact, many SMTP servers will not allow you to relay via them. E.g. if you connect from domain 1 to SMTP server on domain 2, and you submit an e-mail to be delivered to domain 3, the domain 2 server will tell you to take a hike. It will only accept mail that is destined for its own domain or originating from its own domain.
Reason for this is spam. Open relays are one of the prime reasons for having billions of spam mails being transmitted.
The correct method will be for you on domain 1 to connect to domain 1's SMTP server and submit an e-mail to be delivered to domain 3. That will be accepted and delivered. Using domain 2 as an intermediate agent to act as a relay, is/should not be accepted by all SMTP servers. (your SMTP server should get blacklisted/blackholed if it has an open relay) -
How to display content without using webcenter services - task flows?
Good day!
I wanted to create a portlet where I can display and update an xml content retrieved from UCM Content Server. How can I do this without using taskflows (webcenter services)?
Thanks in advance!
KeithHey Keith,
Since you are already using the getResponseAsString() method you have your GET_FILE call working. To get the xml file as the file itself you need to instead call the getResponseStream() method. This will get you an InputStream representing the response.
Once you have the stream you can do the following (I assume you are on a jsp page or somewhere you have access to the HttpServletResponse):
String contentType = serviceResponse.getHeader("Content-Type");
InputStream xmlInputStream = serviceResponse.getResponseStream();
OutputStream outStream = response.getOutputStream();
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=myXmlFile.xml");
response.setContentType(contentType);
StreamUtil.copyStream(xmlInputStream,outStream,true,true);
The runthrough:
1. get the content type of the file coming back form the GET_FILE call
2. grab the file as an InputStream
3. get the output stream representing the response
4. add a header to the response to trigger the "download file" dialog
5. set the content type of the response
6. copy the input stream to the output stream to send the xml file to the browser
Notes:
-StreamUtil is part of the RIDC jar
-use Content-Disposition = inline to tell the browser to try and render the file in it's window if it can.
Hope that helps,

Send mail without local SMTP server
Hey guys,
Are there any API packages, that one can use with Java mail API to encode a mail to SMTP and send to receipent mail host directly. (without using a local SMTP server)
I am not talking abt bulk mailer packages. Just an API package that we can program to.
Appreciate your help guys
thanx !Ex: I want to write a simple SMTP client.
But i don't want the user to have to input a smtp server address.This is similar as if you wanted to write a simple browser - without wanting to bother the user to provide the URL's to browse!
There is no "default mail host". Can not be generally - the network situations can be considerably different. One box is a standalone one with maybe a modem link, the other is on a LAN, the third one is a multi-address host itself bridging a LAN and a WAN etc.

A send-only e-mail account on iPhone. Is that possible?
I have two accounts on my iPhone: Gmail and work (via VPN).
The Gmail account is managed via 3rd party app (Gmail app).
But the system won't let me send e-mails such as photos from the Camera Roll via this 3rd app automatically, so I have it on the Mail app also.
So every time that I have to check or reply my work's e-mails I enable VPN, launch Mail app, wait for the system to timeout checking the Gmail account (because the VPN won't let it reach the Gmail server), and then it checks the work account successfully. And that takes a long time (and uses cell data).
Can I prevent the Mail app to check every account that I have added to it? Or putting in another words, can I have a send-only e-mail account on the Mail app on iPhone?
Sorry, English is not my native language.
Thank you,
RafaelI'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I would try setting up an e-mail account without an Incoming Mail Server set.
As long as you have your outgoing mail server details it will send e-mail.
If it doesn't allow you, maybe set up a dummy e-mail address that you don't use and enter the Incoming Mail server details for that one instead
So the two options are:
Outgoing Server (Gmail)
Incoming Server (blank)
or
Outgoing server (Gmail)
Incoming server (Gmail 2) -
How can I convert an outlook pst file to mac mail without using a windows based computer
I recently bought the new iMac as my older Windows based computer crashed with a bad motherboard. I have been trying to find a way to convert Outlook 2007 pst files to Mac Mail without the need to use a Windows based computer since all I have now is a Mac. I have the copies of the pst files on my Mac, so I am looking for the most efficient way to convert them to the format that I can then open them in the Mac Mail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi - thanks for the instructions but where do you get the option for Quicktime. If I do File - Export I only get the options for File name, place and size but no option that allows to select quicktime:-(
Have you got any more tips? -
File To Proxy : Handle the response from ECC to send mail without BPM
Hi,
Scenario: FILE To Proxy
Requirement: We are receiving xml acknowledgement file from bank with IDoc number and status in SAP PI and the file is used to send the status number, message and and IDoc number to ECC. After request is received in ECC BAPI is executed to update the original status of outbound IDOC.
There would be multiple records in file and PI will send all IDoc acknowledgement to ECC to update the IDoc status.
Issue: Since PI send all records to ecc, if any single IDoc status update is failing in ECC how would it can be communicated to support.
ECC can send success or error response in proxy but how we can use the same in PI to send mail to support. Or is there any better error handling we can go for in such scenario.
Thanks,
VertikaHi everyone
thanks for response.
Interface 1: IDoc (ECC) to File (Bank) --> Done
Interface 2: Acknowledgment File (Bank) to BAPI (ECC) where BAPI will update the status of IDoc sent in first interface.
For Interface 2 : PI will receive file from Bank with multiple records i.e multiple IDoc numbers and their status. PI will invoke proxy to send the IDoc number and status number (eg 16) for all the records together. Now if BAPI fails to update status of any single IDoc in that file how support team will know that the particular record is failed. To handle this error ECC is saying they can send Error and Success back to PI. But the problem is how we can use that response in PI in the same interface to send emails to support team. Bank does not want any response back in this case. This is just to ensure proper error handling since this is bank related interface.
Splitting the interface in two interfaces will definitely help. But is there some way which can be used in same interface and based on error response from ECC mail is triggered.
If any one has better suggestion for such kind of error handling, please post the same.
Thanks,
Vertika -
Make task befor send mail. Use of "Show Progress" and Exception
Hello,
Could I handle Send Event of MailItem in a way that Outlook understand it.
I want to do a long task before sending the mail. The user musn't be block. I wish Outlook display the task when user click on "Show progress" I have two choise actualy:
- I cancel upload while my task ending.
- I make a new thread were i do all the process and finally call the mailItem send method
The first seems to work pretty well. But it need the user wait to the end of the process before send. As it didn't block the user to write read others mail it could be a solution.
I prefered the second one who don't change the user experience. But i have many problem to do it :
- How to apeared in "Show progress"
- Exception raise when i send a (draft)mailItem show in preview pane.
Thanks.That is how Outlook Object Model works. Prior to Outlook 2013, some things would work on secondary threads, but sometimes they would blow up in a really spectacular fashion. So in Outlook 2013 Microsoft made a decision to raise an exception immediately as
soon as Outlook detects that one of its objects is used on a thread other than the primary Outlook thread.
This applies to the COM addins only of course since when your code is running inside the outlook.exe process. If you are out-of-proc, all calls will be marshaled to the main Outlook thread anyway, which negates the whole purpose of using multiple threads
to begin with.
Only Extended MAPI (C++ or Delphi) can be safely used on a secondary thread. You can also use the
RDO family of objects in
Redemption - it wraps Extended MAPI and can be safely used on a secondary thread from any language. See also
