Hello colleagues,

We are offering a Tell-Friend functionality in our product. For security reasons we've restricted the text body to 255 chars. I've received the following inquiry:

An attacker could send e-mails via a script. E-mail providers are scanning e-mails for SPAM wordings. If many of such e-mails are send from the same domain e.g. customer.com, then that domain will be set to a global SPAM-filter. Thus, the customer could not send out any e-mails since these will be filtered.

Which options do we offer on SAP side to prevent from that?

Regards,

Ralf

Hi Ralf,

I have seen a few companies where they have used keyword & pattern scanners on text which is entered into SAP and then sent out. It has all been through proprietory ABAP coding but from memory none of it was particularly complex.
