SAP email configuration u2013 transaction SCOT

[Former Member]

Our email is hosted on the outside and I am in the middle of changing hosts. The new hosting company will not accept sending STMP mail without authentication. There does not seem to be a way to specify a user ID and logon for the SMTP authentication. How are people sending emails from SAP on the AS/400?

I am one ECC 6.0, Netweaver 7.0

Thanks

Thanks for this post. I had the same trouble and the change of table answers our trouble.

Hello Alan,

I have NEVER heard on a solution, that SAP can authenticate ...

SAP is more an SMTP server (and can act as client as well) - SMTP servers are even not having authentication in their protocol.

Where do you have information, that this might work ?

(I'm pretty sure, it will not)

Would it be possible, to alow just the IP of your iSeries in this new mail server to relay without user & password ? (That would be the typical solution)

Volker,

If I understand you correctly you are saying that I should use the SMTP server that comes with the iSeries. I got the SMTP server to work (tested with the SNDDST command) however when I try to send from SAP I get this error message:

SX_PERFORM_SMTPSEND G 829 = 500 Command EHLO not known.

I do not know if this is an error on the SAP side or on the iSeries side.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Alan

With further research I found the EHLO error referenced in note 439948. I changed the iSeries SMTP server to support DSN (in iSeries navigator Additonal Parameters) and all is well.

Thanks

Hello Alan,

sounds perfect

(didn't know, that your i5 smtp server was on the "internet" ...)
