Not related to Firefox support, web mail doesn't use POP or SMTP protocols which is what email clients such as Thunderbird use for communicating with email servers.

Settings of Mail Host and Mail Port in transaction: SCOT for the node: SMTP

Hi,
Could anyone please explain me the significance of Mail Host and Mail Port for the SMTP node in transaction: SCOT.
It says Mail Server to which outbound mails can be passed.
Can i specify my GMAIL ID in the field Mail Host and left blank the Mail Port so that the mail can be sent to my GMAIL Account.
Please let me know if further details are required from my side.
Thanks & Regards,
Goutham.

the below are the step to configure your mail server of anhy type ....
Steps to perform in SAP:
1. Transaction SM59 Setup an RFC Destination for the execution of the email transfer
a. Name: Internet Mail Gateway
b. Connection Type: T
c. Description: Internet Mail Gateway
d. Activation Type: Start
e. Explicit host:
i. Program: c:<dir>mlunxsnd (I used c:sapmail)
ii. Target Host: <Server_Name>
f. (MENU) Destination -> Gateway Options
i. Gateway Host: < Server_Name>
ii. Gateway Service: sapgw00
iii.<OK>
g. SAVE
2. Transaction SCOT Setup a default domain for your system
a. (MENU) Settings -> Default Domain
i. <Default_domain> (i.e. [email protected], Domain company.com)
ii. This setting gives a default to any user who does not have their email address maintained in the system. <user_name>@<default_domain>
3. Transaction SCOT Setup of the Node for queuing the emails before transfer to Exchange
a. Click on INT -> Create button
b. Give Default name (I choose EXCHG, as this was the node type for the Exchange Connector)
c. Give Description
d. Assign the RFC Destination previously created (Internet Mail Gateway)
e. Node: Internet
f. Address area: *
g. Supported address Types:
i. All formats except the fllw
ii. ALI, OBJ, OTF, SCR, URL
h. Choose Ok and Save
4. Transaction SCOT Setup a job to execute the send process on the queue.
a. (MENU) View -> Jobs
i. Select the Create Button
ii. Job Name: SAPConnect
iii. Put Cursor on Variant: SAP&CONNECTINT *As you created an INT Node, you need to run the variant for all of the INT sending. You can select SAP&CONNECTALL, but if you are not using any other node types, you can run with SAP&CONNECTINT.
iv. Select: Schedule Job Button
v. Schedule job for a periodic run approx. every 15 minutes
vi. Save
5. Transaction SU01 Maintain each users email address
a. Select users who require the ability to email from SAP
b. Under the address tab, in SU01, maintain their email address.
Steps to perform on the SAP system (operating System):
1. Create a directory for the SAP programs.
a. Create directory c:sapmail (Directory can be anything)
b. Unpack the ML*.CAR file from SAPs website
c. Alternatively, copy the ML* files from /usr/sap/../run/ directory. This ensures version compatibility with your SAP instance.
2. Create the directories for your sendmail program
a. http://emailrelay.sourceforge.net/
i. Download the emailrelay program
b. Create directory c:winntspoolemailrelay
i. Unpack the contents of the emailrelay zip into this directory
c. create Directory c:reskit (Used to make the emailrelay program run as a service
i. http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=197
1. www.tacktech.com had some great instructions for creating a service on the NT side. (Thank you Tacktech)
2. Use SRVANY to create the services, as documented below.
d. Open command prompt
e. Follow instructions for creating a service
i. cd reskit
ii. execute c:reskitinstsrv.exe "<SERVICE_NAME_Engine>" c:reskitsrvany.exe
1. This service is the engine
iii. execute c:reskitinstsrv.exe "<SERVICE_NAME_Send_Process>" c:reskitsrvany.exe
1. This service is the send process
iv. Modify the registry to represent the two new services
v. View instructions for Parameters and Application Creation under the services in the registry
vi. Command lines should be as follows:
1. <SERVICE_NAME_Engine> - c:winntspoolemailrelayemailrelay.exe --as-server --no-daemon
2. <SERVICE_NAME_Send_Process> - c:winntspoolemailrelayemailrelay.exe --no-daemon -hidden --forward-to (your_mailhost):SMTP --poll 5
vii. Start the services using service mgr.
f. cmd prompt cd sapmail
g. mlsomadm c:sapmailmailgw.ini (see below)

Domain name/"primary DNS" name/mail host name/mail server name/mx name

Hi,
I have registered my domain name (N.com) with an external dns server and created an MX record (mail.N.com) for it as well. My server sits behind a router and internet traffic is port(80)-forwarded to my server's fixed internal ip address (I can access my webpages from the internet just fine). When I initially setup the server I was asked to give it a "primary DNS name." I naturally assumed that N.com was supposed to be entered here, but that just caused all kinds of problems (though I still do not understand why). So I reinstalled and currently have server.N.com as the primary DNS name of the server (although it shows up in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager as server.local--why is that?)
I have had no luck getting any email from the internet with the default settings in mail services (domain name of N.com and host name of server.N.com). Having no luck with the defaults, I assumed that maybe I needed to change the host name to "mail.N.com" so that it matched the MX record. I also changed the user preferences in Workgroup Manager to receive mail from mail.N.com--but still no luck. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how come none of the Mail Service literature mentions anything about what a mail "host name" is supposed to be? Is it supposed to be the same as the "Mail Server" name that Workgroup Manager asks each user for? and is it the same as the MX record name?
I am just needing some help to connect all these variously named, but undefined, dots.
Also, how come I can access webmail from the internet using www.N.com/webmail but can't do it from any computers within my physical network (I have to use IPaddress/webmail or server.local/webmail)?
Also, should my user email addresses be [email protected] or [email protected] (which is the current default)?
Thanks in advance and good luck!
John

I had been told by a friend that ... regular email coming in from the internet would go through port 80
Unfortunately you were misinformed.
My MX record needs the extra subname (such as "mail") in front of the domain name, right?
Not at all. A MX record for 'N.com' is entirely valid (expected, in fact).
An MX record tells remote mail servers where to send mail for any domain/subdomain. If you think about it, let's say you worked for Apple and you wanted people to be able to send email to [email protected], well then you need an MX record for 'apple.com'.
You can see if you dig MX apple.com that they actually have 9 MX records, but the point still stands.
Now, you might also have MX records for subdomains so that you can have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. Each of these subdomains would need a separate MX record.
So, in general, for any set of email addresses @[anything.]domain.com you have a MX record telling remote mail servers where to send that mail.
Of course the MX record name is mail.N.com, but I think you are implying that the in the Mail settings of Server Admin where it asks for domain name all I need to put there is the N.com, right?
What I mean is that you need to set the domain name to whatever domain name you expect to receive mail at.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected], then you enter 'N.com'.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected] then you enter 'mail.N.com'.
If you want both forms, enter one in the main domain and add the other(s) in the Advanced -> Hosting -> Local Host Aliases section.
Is there anything in the Mail settings that needs to have the full MX record name (mail.N.com)?
Yes. Either the 'domain name' or the 'Local Host Aliases' needs to contain the same thing as your MX record. That's because the MX record tells remote servers to send mail to this machine, but the machine won't accept the mail unless it is configured to do so.
What is the "host name" supposed to be?
This should be the name that remote servers see when this machine tries to send outgoing mail.
Ideally this should match the reverse DNS of your IP address, that way when it connects to a remote server it says "Hi, I'm $hostname" and the remote server can lookup the machine's IP address and see the same result. This will reduce the problem of remote servers thinking you're sending them spam.
If you only have a single IP address then this probably needs to be something like 'N.com'. If you don't have control over your reverse DNS then you're going to run into a problem.
Also in the user accounts (in Workgroup Manager) what should the "mail server name" be? Is it the host name or the domain name?
Off hand, I don't know.
Also, why are all the default user email addresses [email protected] (the name I gave the server at setup)? Why doesn't the user accounts create [email protected] as the default address?
Presumably because the mail server says it is 'server.N.com' and therefore any accounts on that machine would be [email protected]. Changing the domain name (as above) should fix that.

Changed web hosting companies/mail server

I just changed web hosting companies and want to know if I change the "incoming" and "outgoing" server to the new server addresses will I lose the emails that I have for this account? Said another way, I'm going to open mail preferences, select the mail account I need to change and type in new mail server addresses?
Sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find an answer in a search.

Hi there, and welcome to the Discussions.
Changing the outgoing (SMTP) server should not make you loose emails, since the SMTP server is, by definition, only used to send emails. The emails you have already sent and want to keep are stored in a folder that is completely independent from your choice of SMTP server.
When it comes to changing the incoming server, that's a different business. The consequences of such a change depend on the type of the server. Is it POP? IMAP?... If it is POP, I would assume that you would not loose anything, because POP works in such a way that you download all your emails from the POP server, the emails are then deleted from the server (at least, this is the default setting), and then the reference copies of your emails are the ones on your computer, which should therefore not be touched by a change in the POP server.
If the incoming server is an IMAP server, then I don't know what will happen, but there is a risk that you could loose your emails. This is because, with IMAP, the reference copies of your emails are the ones on the server, with which your computer automatically synchronizes.
In any case, before doing anything, BACKUP YOUR EMAILS, and make sure your know how to restore these backups in case something goes wrong.
Then, I suggest you wait for someone more knowledgeable than myself to better answer your question.
Hope this helps

Thunderbird 24.0 and mail server problem (STARTTLS mode)

Mail Server "Type" and Mail Server "Address" for Incoming & Outgoing Mail

First, the only browser I use is Mozilla's Firefox, the best browser hands down. Second, I have both a Yahoo email account and a Google "gmail" account that I use regularly (daily). I am trying to set up a mail washing program to rid myself of these ridiculous spammers & scammers, however I need to the the Incoming & Outgoing mail server "type" & "address" to do this and I seem to have guessed the yahoo settings, but I can't seem to get the Google gmail account set up properly. Yahoo settings that worked are: Server Type="POP3" and Server Address="pop.mail.yahoo.com", with advanced settings: Secure Authentication=Required, Secure Connection (SSL)=Required, Store Cached Emails=Yes, Server Port Number=995 (set), Pipelining=Enabled. The equivalent settings for the Google gmail account result in an error message = "Failed to log into POP3 Server". Of course user name & password triple checked, Type=POP3, Address=pop.mail.gmail.com, and , Address="pop.gmail.com" tried also, Port and other settings the same. Where can I find this info for both accounts? Tanks a million! -jw

DC and Mail Server VMs On Same Machine???

I don't see any issues. We have a few clients we setup this way and so far so good. I believe this is pretty much what VMware intended. Larger businesses can afford redundant servers and enterprise licensing, but us smaller businesses must work with what we can afford!
Just make sure you have a backup appliance like a Daito in case something happens to the server. You'll be able to run off the Daito device until your server is repaired/replaced.
I hope your setup goes well.

I need to buy a cheapo machine to serve as a second domain controller. I also need to buy a new mail server.
Is there any reason not to just create two VMs on a new Server 2012 machine and serve both these purposes? One VM for the DC and one VM for the mail server? Is there any danger of having a public facing VM on the same machine as a DC VM?
I know they are on the same machine, but aren't they really totally separate entities?

Which VMware support Windows 7 as Host and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS

Folks,
Hello. I need to install PeopleSoft PIA in Windows Server 2003.
Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium Editon and cannot dual boot multiple Operating systems. I have to install VMware in Host Windows 7 and then install Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS for PIA.
I have installed VMware Server 2.0.2 into Host Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333/ui cannot display any more.
I have found that Windows 7 is not a supported Host Operating System for VMware Server 2 and strange thing might happen anytime. I found that "VMware Player 3" is fully supported Windows 7 as Host OS but is not supported Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS.
Does any folks know which VMware product support Windows 7 as Host OS and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS ?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
1.
Ensure the printer is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 and the drivers are up-to-date.
2.
Try the following method:
Printers that use ports that do not begin with COM, LPT,
or USB are not redirected in a remote desktop or a terminal services session
Hope this helps. Thanks.
Regards,
Nicholas Li - MSFT
That doesn't apply to Windows 7 Machines. I'm having the same problem as Acer_, I have a RDP Session from a Windows 7 Machine to a Windows XP machine and the local printer was available a few days ago but isn't anymore. The drivers are installed on both PC's
and are compatible with Windows 7.

Ifs provides support for SMTP and IMAP4. As such it is able to replace traditional mail servers. Without knowing the size of the community you wish to support and the profile of the email you wish to manage it is difficult to make any comments on levels of service.

Issues with Cox Cable and mail server?

I need an accurate port to send mail. I have never been able to use my mac mail (send or receive) and my cox mail (worked for both at one point) on entourage (cox) my outgoing mail does not work, however, it will receive mail? I am using the latest version of Leopard and I disabled my firewall? Cox wouldn't help me they said to just contact apple? I have the correct pop server (pop.east.cox.net) and SMTP server (smtp.east.cox.net). This is really bothering me so if someone could help I would appreciate it. I currently have my mail set on port 110 for both outgoing and incoming.

CSMARS reporting ICMP traffic between hosts and Exchange Server

We recently added a CSMARS box to our infrastructure so it could correlate and report on our 4260's alerts. I've noticed that CSMARS is reporting on ICMP's from multiple hosts within our network sending ICMP packets to our Exchange server. The total amounts of packets are between 15 and 30 and then the ICMP's from the specific clients stop.
I know that Windows XP clients will send ICMP traffic to domain controllers in order to test connectivity and I'm wondering if we're seeing the same occurrence with our Exchange clients.
Thanks,
Javier

Hi, the signature that is firing is ICMP Flood
Signature ID: 2152/0. According to Cisco's site this signature should not fire under normal circumstances. However, when we first setup the IPS sensor it would deny all vpn users' access to our exchange server as the Win Nuke signature kept firing. Of course this was a false positive.
However, once I tweaked the CSMARS rule a bit the noise calmed down and it reported on two hosts that were trying to send ICMP floods to Google.
