Restrict E-mail sender in the Mail sender communication channel.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My scenerio customers want to Email with attachment to PI server. I've successfull tested this scenerio without one open issue. Right now anyone having email id can send mail to PI server.

I want to restrict the senders list. Is this possible in the sender Mail adapter configuration.

Thanks,

>>Right now anyone having email id can send mail to PI server.

But in production, only business users are going to send mail. ofcourse you can configure to use company's corporate mail server which contain valid email ids.

>> I want to restrict the senders list. Is this possible in the sender Mail adapter configuration.

Not possible. PI has no control to restrict sender mail server.

Thanks Debashish for your reply and Thanks Baskar for your suggestion and I took your suggestion. Is there any way to call two different interfaces when two emails are received by the same sender email adapter? Only distinction in the email will be the subject. For eg. <some X email address> sends two emails to PI server with subject "One" in first email and second email with subject "Two". These two emails should call two different interface mapping. Please help me with

suitable blog or with your suggestion.

Thanks,

Hi,

Its possible.

You need to configure 2 receiver

1)MailA

2)MAILB

in receiver determination.

then you need to route it based on Subject using condition in receiver determination.

Use the below XSD to create your sender mail message type

and use mail package in sender mail adapter.

Then your mail will come in XI in the above format.

then based on subject field you can conditionaly determine the receiver.

Message Protocol
u25CF      XIALL

In this mode, the content of the RF C822 e-mail matches the content of the XI message. The XI message is a multipart MIME message with a SOAP envelope as its first part. See also: Messages, under XI Message Protocol.

u25CF      XIPAYLOAD

In this mode, the content of the e-mail is put in the payload of the XI message. If you do not set the Use Mail Package indicator, the information about the sender (From), receiver (To), and subject of the e-mail is lost.

Hi,

Please refer the below thread for possible solutions.

There are no direct solutions at adapter level. If you want to do this at adapter level then you need to write some custom adapter module.
