Gmail as SMTP server

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are trying to configure gmail as smtp server. Our current product version/release is as follows:  ERP 6.0 EHP /740. Please find attached the configuration made so far in Tx SCOT.

While testing email sending we are getting the following error message:

Currently no delivery to xxxxxxxxxxxx

Message no. XS612

Diagnosis

The message was processed correctly in the SAP system. However, a subsequent system registers that the message cannot currently be delivered to the receiver xxxxxxxxxxx

Information from external system (if available)

1. smtp.gmail.com:25

451 Error starting TLS

Procedure

If you send the message again at a later time then it is possible that it can be delivered successfully.

Do we ask our client to perform any action on email server side? On SMTP servers emails is necessary to enable relay for the specific SAP server you want  to configure for email sending. What are the requirements for gmail?

Please let me know if some extra detail is required.

Thansk in advance

Diego,

as per below thread it seems gmail server cant be configured with SAP. we need to use a different way to achieve that. please refer this below thread.

That being the case and seeing from your screenshots that you have a Windows 2012 system, take a look at this IIS SMTP setup sending mail to smtp.gmail.com; then modify SCOT to send to local host (probably port 25) and then IIS will send the email for you.

Hi Bala,

I've already reviewed that post...but it was my understanding that applies for older SAP releases where SCOT does not give you the chance to set authenticated communication to SMTP which is required by Gmail.

Thanks
