Mail adapter.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

What is the purpose of the mail adapter ?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

The mail adapter enables you to connect e-mail servers to the Integration Server or the PCK.

The receiver mail adapter converts XI messages to e-mails and uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) to transfer them to the e-mail server. The sender mail adapter uses the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) or the Post Office Protocol Version 3 (POP3) to collect e-mails and convert them to XI messages.

If an e-mail server is communicating with the mail adapter, you can configure security settings to encrypt/decrypt and sign/verify messages. Here, message security is based on the S/MIME internet standard (Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension).

File List

If you have selected the transport protocol File System (NFS) and have set the Additional Files(s) indicator, you can enter the additional files that are to be included in the XI message as attachments.

Enter a name for each additional file in the File List. You can choose any name. Separate the names of the additional files with a comma ().

The specified names are used as the names of the additional attachments in the XI message and as the keys of the parameters.

Rules for Additional Files

· All additional files must be in the source directory.

· The way that the files to be transported are grouped together is defined by the file names. All file names must be identical except for a defined part (such as the suffix).

· Additional files can only be transported unaltered without conversion options.

· Messages with additional attachments require a receiver that can process them.

· Additional files are located in the message as an attachment under the name assigned in the File List.
