Mail sender adapter >> POP server not configured for URL access

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a Mail --> PI --> R/3 scenario and I am configuring the Mail sender adapter for POP3. The issue is that the POP server is not configured to be accessed via a URL and hence the URL pop://hostname/ is causing the following error at runtime:

_1. When I use pop://Fully qualified host name/

_Error: exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.UnknownHostException

_2. When I use pop://IP address of host/

_Error: exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.SocketException: Connection timed out:could be due to invalid address

I am able to ping the POP3 server from the PI server using both the FQDN and IP address.

Can someone please help.

Thanks,

Shobhit

Hi Shobhit

Check with these notes:

804102

xi 3.0 mail adapter with pop3 user authentication problem

810238

XI 3.0 Mail Adapter for POP3 may not report some errors

also check mailserver security settings ...

Connection refused occures when XI cannot connect

in most cases so try checking it again , maybe some ports are not opend on the firewall

Thanks

Hi Abhishek,

We have PI7.0 so the notes are not applicable. I have also checked PING and NSLOOKUP on the PI server to the POP server and it is working fine. That means the IP routing is fine and the Firewall is allowing the communication to the POP server.

Is it possible that something needs to be done on the POP server? The POP server administrator says that the POP server is not configured to be accessed via a URL.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Hi Shobit,

Are you able to access the POP server manually using the urls that you have mentioned?

No Ravi, I am not able to access the POP servers using the URLs.
