Hi

Gurus

Unable to send mail outside thru sapconnect

SX_GENERATE_NDR G Message cannot be transferred to node SMTP due to connection error (final)

I am trying to send mails from SAP thru SAPConnect to my organisation employees.. ex:- vsriram@*********.com

Our organisation mail domain is premierconsulting.com which is on googlemail server.. smtp.googlemail.com

Our SAP Server located at bangalore , with domain name 'esmart03' and connecting from hyderabad through hamachi.

rz10 settings.

icm/server_port_2 PROT=SMTP,PORT=25,host=smtp.googlemail.com,TIMEOUT=180

is/SMTP/virt_host_2 *:25;

Here if goto port information it is displayed : SMTP 25 esmart03.esmart.com (instead smtp.googlemail.com).

you have to do some basic checking more.

1.What is the output put of Dev_ICM?

2.Go to SMICM and services and check your port is active.

3.Please check permission on ICMBIND in exe directory .The owner shall be root.

4.Please do the tracerout <ipaddress of your mail server> from SAP server.You can do it from command level or you can do it from sm49 .

5.I believe this is due to your netwrok setting probably .

6.As such your config SCOT shall be all right.

7.SICF -sapconnect --if you have keyed in any user and password please check that too.

Good luck.

The problem as far as i can see is that your network domain "esmart03" setup in SCOT is different to the domain of your SMTP server.

SAPconnect Administration (Transaction SCOT)
You have to configure SAPconnect settings for every client that is used for send processes.
·        Default Domain
Under Settings ® Default Domain, define the domain of the SAP system client. This allows for the following to take place:
·         The SMTP plug-in logs on to the mail server using the domain as ID.
·         The message ID of the outbound e-mails is assembled with this domain.
·         If an SAP user who does not have an Internet mail address sends an e-mail, a sender address consisting of the SAP user name and this domain is generated.

So basically (as far as my knowledge goes) you need the SMTP server to be inside the domain. Also to send mails to a different domain you need SMTP Relay Agent to be configured.

Maybe someone can give you an alternative.

Hope it helps and regards
