Email sometimes does not send

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am sending email and using the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.

Why is it sometimes I can receive the email and sometimes I don't?

Is there a configuration that filters the sending of emails?

In transaction SOST, it the status is SENT (with green light), but I do not receive it.

Also, why is the RECIPIENT and the STATUS_TEXT not the same? (in SOST). The recipient is my email address and the STATUS_TEXT has different email address.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Such behaviour doesn't happen in SAP. May be your e-mail server is filtering them.

Hi Atish,

Thanks for the immediate response.

Another question:

Whenever I can receive the email, I am receiving 2 attachments,

MESSAGE.DAT

FILENAME.DAT.

The expected attachment is the FILENAME.DAT. Why is it that it is sending 2 files? Where did the MESSAGE.DAT came from?

BTW, MESSAGE.DAT and FILENAME.DAT has the same content.

Thank you.

Just paste your code if possible.

Hi Atish,

Here is my code.

wa_objbin = 'salem_marcial'.

APPEND wa_objbin TO it_objbin.

• Creation of email subject

CONCATENATE text-003 p_gjahr p_rpmax p_bukrs INTO lv_title

SEPARATED BY c_unsc.

wa_doc_data-obj_descr = lv_title.

wa_doc_data-obj_langu = sy-langu.

• wa_doc_data-skip_scren = c_x.

DESCRIBE TABLE it_objbin LINES gv_tab_lines.

READ TABLE it_objbin INTO wa_objbin INDEX gv_tab_lines.

wa_objhead = text-005. "2007_016_FR10_HFM_SFeRE

APPEND wa_objhead TO it_objhead.

• Creating the entry for the compressed attachment

wa_objpack-transf_bin = c_x.

wa_objpack-head_start = 1.

wa_objpack-head_num = 1.

wa_objpack-body_start = 1.

wa_objpack-body_num = gv_tab_lines.

wa_objpack-obj_langu = sy-langu.

wa_objpack-doc_type = c_dat.

wa_objpack-obj_name = c_att.

wa_objpack-obj_descr = lv_title.

wa_objpack-doc_size = gv_tab_lines * 250.

APPEND wa_objpack TO it_objpack.

IF gv_flag2 IS INITIAL.

APPEND wa_objpack TO it_objpack.

gv_flag2 = c_x.

ELSE.

IF wa_objpack-doc_size > lv_doctemp.

REFRESH it_objpack.

APPEND wa_objpack TO it_objpack.

ENDIF.

lv_doctemp = wa_objpack-doc_size.

ENDIF.

lv_size = wa_objpack-doc_size.

• Converts string to ftext format

ftext_tab = it_objbin.

• Converts ftext to binary format

ENDIF.

• Entering names in the distribution list

wa_reclist-receiver = 'EMAIL@YAHOO.COM'.

wa_reclist-express = c_x.

wa_reclist-rec_type = c_u.

APPEND wa_reclist TO it_reclist.

• Sending the document

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

document_data = wa_doc_data

put_in_outbox = c_x

commit_work = c_x

TABLES

packing_list = it_objpack

object_header = it_objhead

contents_bin = it_objbin2

receivers = it_reclist

EXCEPTIONS

too_many_receivers = 1

document_not_sent = 2

operation_no_authorization = 4

OTHERS = 99.

Just to clarify, in the outbox (SAP), I can see only 1 attachment is attached. But when I emailed it to my email, I can see 2 attachments (with the MESSAGE.DAT that is not supposed to be emailed). I also used my yahoo account. It also received the MESSAGE.DAT.

Is the message.dat done by SAP standard because I did not use any content_txt? ==> I don't need to write any texts in the email. Only an attachment is needed.

Do I need to use the contents_txt so that SAP will understand that I don't need to use the body of the email?

Thanks in advance.
