Incoming emails using SAPConnect

Former Member

Hi,

We can already send emails <b>out</b> from SAP, via our Exchange server, but cannot get the system to accept <b>incoming</b> emails.

What I am hoping is that the system can be set up so that I can send an email to user@sapsystemsdomain.com and have that email appear in the user's SAPOffice inbox.

Firstly, is this possible with incoming emails?

Secondly, has anybody seen any step-by-step guides of how to set up SAP, Exchange, DNS or whatever?

Thanks

Tristan

Receiving emails into SAP is possible and you will need your Exchange people to divert the chosen domain name emails to your SAP Host on port 25 (default port). After that the SAP steps are relatively simple.

SMTP Mail Set Up in SAP

The steps below are for both sending and receiving email via SAP. If there are to be no incoming emails omit steps 4, 5, 6 and at stage 7 activate the SAPConnect node without changes.

1) determine email domain to be used

2) ensure each user that is to make use of email has an email address in their user details (su01)

3) If your mail server does not work with ESMTP, use transaction se16 to change the F_SMTP field to blank on table SXNODES (system must be open for configuration). Disables the enhanced smtp functionality for servers that do not have this capability .

4) ensure that program icmbnd in the SAP executables directory is owned by root (group sapsys) and has permissions 4755 (UNIX).

5) use rz10 to define the following parameters:

is/SMTP/virt_host_0

value - *:25; (default port)

icm/server_port_0

value - PROT=SMTP,HOST=<fully defined hostname>;PORT=25, EXTBIND=1

6) create user mailadmin as a service user with profile S_A.SCON only

7) use sicf to add the client, mail user, password and language to the service data tab of the sapconnect node and activate it (system must be open for configuration)

😎 use scot Settings>Default domain to add the default domain name from 1 above

9) use scot to configure the smtp node (double-click on the smtp node) to set the node in use, to add the ip address and port of the receiving smtp server then click on the set button next to the internet adderess type define the templates to be used for email as per the attached example.

10) test the set up by sending an email to an external email address using sbwp
