Mail Configuration in SAP 4.7 IDES

0 Kudos

Hello,

I have SAP 4.7 IDES at my home. I want to do Mail Configuration to send mails from SAP. I do have Internet Connection.

I have done the following setting in <b>SCOT</b>.

1. In <b>SMTP</b> Node, the checkbox <b>Node in use</b> is checked

But when I send mail using a small ABAP Program it is going to SAPs <b>Inbox</b>.

I was not able to send to my <b>Yahoo mail</b>.

Do suggest if any more settings are required.

What value should be given to <b>Mail Host</b> in <b>SMTP</b> Node ?

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

Now I tried sending mail using menu option <b>System -> Short Message</b>

It gave the following error message in <b>SOST</b>.

<b>Internal error: if_smtp_client->send Exception:

smtp_communication_failure Check port and mail server for SMTP nodes.</b>

What could be the reason ?

Thanks,

Points will be given.

Hi Shashidhar,

Red icon indicates that the message could not be sent. In your program, if you are using the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, along with put_in_outbox option, and the mail does not come in outbox, then you can be sure that there are some mistakes in SCOT settings. If the message is there in outbox(in business workplace) and SOST shows a red, then please check your code...if you dont populate the internal tables for your messages correctly, then the mail will not be sent even though you may get sy-subrc = 0 on execution of the mail FM.

Thanks

Hi Shashidhar,

Goto SOST transaction and check whether the message you had sent has been transmitted by SAP. This can be identified by checking the first icon is the list. If it shows a green light, it means that your mail has been successfully sent by SAP. If there is some other indicator, then you must have made some mistake in SCOT configuration.

Vijay
