Problems configuring SMTP

[Former Member]

Hello!

I'm working with HP-UX 11.B, Oracle 9.2.0.6 and WAS 640.

I'm trying to configure SMTP service to send emails using tcp port 25.

Configuration:

1 - Profile parameters:

rdisp/start_icman = true

icm/server_port_0 = PROT=SMTP, PORT=25, EXTBIND=1

icm/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=8002

icm/server_port_2 = PROT=HTTPS,PORT=8001

2 - In the ICM services I have:

1 SMTP 25 sodsrm02.tradejango. 30 X => NOT ACTIVE

2 HTTP 8002 sodsrm02.tradejango. 30

3 HTTPS 8001 sodsrm02.tradejango. 30

3 - I also checked the SAP NOTE - 421359 - ICM: Binding ports < 1024 on Unix.

1. cd /sapmnt/M0D/exe

2. ls -la icmbnd

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root sapsys 3016472 Mar 14 09:47 icmbnd

4 - Looking trace file dev_icm I have the error:

"...

*** ERROR => IcmLoop: Partner ICMBND(4), wp_no: 0 sent error:

Could not bind service sodsrm02:25 (-1)

**** SigHandler: signal 18 received

*** ERROR => IcmStartIcmBnd: "/usr/sap/M0D/SYS/exe/run/icmbnd" failed with rc: -4 - inspect "dev_icmbnd" [icxxextbnd_m

..."

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Arnaldo,

Could be because any other service is already using port 25.You can check by executing the command

telnet <hostname> 25

if gives a blank screen it indicates some service is using the port 25.(ep sendmail)

Dear Sergo Beradze,

Hi. We as have a parameter :

is/SMTP/virt_host_0

value *:25000;

In SICF are you activate "SAPconnect" ? Have you a SAPCONNECT user ?

Also read about SMTP disscusion where I took part -->

regards.

Hi Sergo,

The parameter is/SMTP/virt_host_0 is necessary if you want incoming messages to SAP.

Is not the case.

SAPCONNECT is allready configured.

Still I am getting Error in this.

Hi Arnaldo,

You also need to activate SMTP in transcation SICF, and configure the node in transcation SCOT.
