Sending Mails in Background

Former Member — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:14:33 GMT

Hi Experts,

I am using FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' for sending out mails, but we don't have SMTP port enabled to send mails and Basis has also restrictions to enable this SMTP access.

Please provide any alternate way to send mails(background) that uses customized mail templates and doesn't need SMTP port.

Regards,

Depesh

Hi,

Configuration of Mail for SRM System

Create a new service user (like SRMADMIN) with the profile S_A.SCON.

We have created user psrmailadm

Maintain the following profile parameters (using TCode RZ10)

u2022 icm/server_port_<*> = PROT=SMTP,PORT=<PORT>,TIMEOUT=180

(Example: icm/server_port_1 = PROT=SMTP,PORT=25,TIMEOUT=180;)

This opens a TCP/IP port for reception of mails by the SMTP plug-in.

<*> signifies the number of icm server port, if no icm port is defined in the system then u20180u2019 can be used else the next free number can be used.

<port> specifies the port to be opened for the incoming mail (normally for mail it is 25).

In impp16 we have PROT=SMTP,PORT=25,EXTBIND=1,TIMEOUT=1800

Configuring Outgoing Mail

Run Transaction SCOT

Maintain Default Domain (Under Settings -> Default Domain) {xyz.abc.com}

pune.telco.co.in

Maintain SMTP Node Setting

Double Click on the SMTP

Please ensure that the node in Use is selected.

Schedule Background job

Under Transaction SCOT

Choose View -> jobs

Choose Create

Enter a job Name and confirm (SENDMAIL_CLIENT556)

Select the variant SAP&CONNECTALL BY PLACING CURSOR ON IT

Choose Schedule Job

Choose Schedule Periodically.

Enter an appropriate time period, such as 10 minutes

Choose Create

Configuring Incoming Mail

This defined a virtual mail host for the reception of mails

Enter SICF

Hope it helps u.

Regards

Manjari.

Without SMTP access in SAP, one can't send emails using any functionality within SAP...

If SMTP is not configured , you cannot send Internet mails.

But you can send SAP mails both in foreground and back ground.

Actually, I have E mail templates and I want to use those templates to send E mail from the BAPI that i have wrritten.

If without SMTP we can't access internet then can there be any possiblity for sending Intranet mails?
