Hi,

I dont think it is possible.

Please check the below note

Note 455140 - Configuration of e-mail, fax, paging or SMS using SMTP

hi,

You can configure a mail server on SAP system but should meet following requirements;

SMTP server Address:

SMTP server Port No:

POP3 server Address:

POP3 server Port No:

after configuring above said in your SAP system the next configuration is on mail server that is "SMTP Relay" contact gmail, rediff, or any other service provider to add your SAP system in Relay.

Hi,msbasis :

Thanks for your answer.

In my opinion,"SMTP RELAY" means to enable the relay of mail , when I want to send a mail to other domain,like yahoo mail.

But if we want to send mail to the own domail --- gmail,no need to use SMTP RELAY.

This is possible as long as you can communicate with gmail server. (Ping gmail server from your App server)

Under SMTP Connection: in SCOT

Mail Host : gmai lhost name

Port : SMTP port given by gmail or ( if other service provider like net4 india give the given port)

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL: imap.gmail.com

Use SSL: Yes

Port: 993

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)

Use Authentication: Yes

Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)

Port: 465 or 587

This may work. not sure

Let me know if it works

Thanks,

But in SCOT,it seems we can't set the user authentication,isn't it?

Hi, did you ever manage to send mail from SAP using smtp.gmail.com?

Hi,

I dint think that Gmail ca be your mail Server.

can you please let me know that you have your own domain for Sap system.

Hi,

Our own domain can implement the mail sending functionality,but are you sure gmail cannot be the mail server while configuring SCOT?

Could anyone help me do a test?I can't test that because the sap server are in the local network right now,and can't connect gmail server.

I feel that it cant tbe because they are two different Domails.

ou can send mail to gmail account id in Scot under the setting you give * undet the internet and Address area.

With this setting you can send mail to any place

thanks
