SMTP COnfiguration

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are doing SMTP configuration in our production system , i have a very basic question on this regards.

Does the SAP System must be have direct internet connection in order to send mails to internet address or we can connect the internet via SAProuter to send the internet mails?!

Thanks

You need to use an SMTP server (MS Exchange, Lotus or any other).

Read the SMTP Guide.

hi,

as a part of configuration, you have to connect your mail Server to the SAP Server.

when you send a mail, the mail from SAP goes to your mail Server located in your company and from there it goes to the recepient

Pls let me know whether i have answered your question

Nope... is not required on the SAP Server.... The mails are sent to the SMTP Server and from the SMTP Server to the external addresses.
