I needed a function to send an email to an ordinary email address and to send on too to an SAP Inbox. I found this function:
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
EXPORTING
document_data = gd_doc_data
put_in_outbox = 'X'
commit_work = 'X'
TABLES
packing_list = it_packing_list
contents_txt = it_message
receivers = it_receivers
EXCEPTIONS
too_many_receivers = 1
document_not_sent = 2
document_type_not_exist = 3
operation_no_authorization = 4
parameter_error = 5
x_error = 6
enqueue_error = 7
OTHERS = 8.
The it_receivers it's filled like this:
FREE wa_it_receivers.
wa_it_receivers-receiver = sy-uname. "&----- Assign SAP User Id
wa_it_receivers-rec_type = 'B'. "&-- Send to SAP Inbox
wa_it_receivers-com_type = 'INT'.
wa_it_receivers-notif_del = 'X'.
wa_it_receivers-notif_ndel = 'X'.
APPEND wa_it_receivers TO it_receivers .
This only send's the email to the SAP inbox. I went to the domain of the rec_type field to see which letter is so it can send the email to an ordinary email account. I believe it is 'A' but, as it only says external address. Is that the one? Thank you.
I don't know why people keep on digging up that old function module. I'd always recommend using the Business Communication Services API - it's well documented and much easier to use. The docs also contain an example on how to send to an external mail address.
Here you have a nice example of how to do it wiki.sdn.sap.com

I am trying to send emails using my MVC5 application. To do this, I have installed Mailkit v 1.22.0 through NuGet package manager. And this is how my code looks like:
var FromAddress = "no-reply#email.com";
var FromAddressTitle = "My Org";
var connection = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SmtpServer"].ConnectionString;
var Email = new MimeMessage();
Email.From.Add(new MailboxAddress(FromAddressTitle, FromAddress));
var AddressArray = value.SentTo.Split(';');
foreach (var item in AddressArray)
{
Email.To.Add(new MailboxAddress(item));
}
Email.Subject = value.Subject;
Email.Body = new TextPart("html")
{
Text = value.Content
};
using (var client = new SmtpClient())
{
client.Connect(connection);
client.Send(Email);
}
return "Email Successfully Sent";
which works fine except if a wrong recipient Email address has been entered, the application does not detect if the Email was actually sent or not (client.Send(Email) returns void). Is there a way to know if it really ended up getting sent to the recipient or not? If it is not possible with Mailkit, is there any other NuGet package that can do this?
The reason that SmtpClient.Send() returns void is that the SMTP protocol does not specify whether the message gets delivered successfully. All it can do us tell the client that the messages was accepted by the server or not (in which case MailKit will throw an exception).
If you need to know whether the message was successfully delivered, you will need to check for bounce messages sent to you which could take minutes or even hours.
The first thing you'll have to do, however, is subclass SmtpClient and override the GetEnvelopeId and GetDeliveryStatusNotifications methods.
Then, when you receive a bounce message, the top-level MIME part will typically be a multipart/report (represented by a MultipartReport object when using MimeKit). This multipart/report will then contain a message/delivery-status MIME part (and possibly others), which will have a list of header-like fields that specify the details about the delivery status for 1 or more recipients.
MimeKit will parse a lot of this for you (e.g. it has a MessageDeliveryStatus class which contains a StatusGroups property that you will want to use. However, what MimeKit does not do is parse the individual field values (but they shouldn't be that difficult for you to do, typically a few Split(';')'s should be enough iirc for some quick & dirty parsing).
You will want to read the spec for this at https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3464
The MimeKit docs linked above specify which sections to look closely at (I think 2.2 and 2.3).
I would recommend looking specifically at the Original-Recipient and Action fields.
original-recipient-field =
"Original-Recipient" ":" address-type ";" generic-address
generic-address = *text
action-field = "Action" ":" action-value
action-value =
"failed" / "delayed" / "delivered" / "relayed" / "expanded"
You will also need the Original-Envelope-Id field to figure out which message is being reported on:
original-envelope-id-field =
"Original-Envelope-Id" ":" envelope-id
envelope-id = *text
The envelope-id text will be the same string returned by your GetEnvelopeId implementation in the SmtpClient class.
First, I am a complete beginner and have no idea what I am doing.
I am wanting to take a form that is submitted in Google forms and email the data to certain individuals. I got an example code from http://www.labnol.org/internet/google-docs-email-form/20884.
I changed the email and I got this to work. However now I would like to add a simple if statement so that depending on the first question in the from Who would you like to contact? it will send the email to different email address per different answer. Note: there are more than two choices so I imagine I will need more than one else statement.
I think I need something like this, but I am not sure how to make it work.
if(e.parameter.source == "Info") sendto = "bob#yahoo.com" else sendto = "bob#email.com"
Thanks in advance
Add the if else block where "source" is the name of the form field:
var email = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
if(e.parameter.source == "Info")
email = "bob#yahoo.com"
else if (e.parameter.source == "Info2")
email = "bob2#email.com"
else
email = "bob2#email.com"
I have a form sent by email that travels through different persons like this.
Person A --> Person B --> Person C
I want the person A to be informed when the form is treated by person C. So Person A needs to be in copy of the email sent by person B.
Because person A isn't always the same one, I think the best way to put him/her in copy is to use the "from" field of the email received by person B and to put it in copy.
But how can I find this address with infopath and how can I place it into my email data connection ?
I had this same question today myself and could not find much in the way of answers.
So... I did some work myself and came up with a few solutions.
First I don't believe there is any way to get/set the "From" address using the InfoPath OM. This means you will have to use one of the following options:
No Code:
You will be limited to providing a field on the form where "Person A" can put their email address and use this in the CC. for subsequent stages. That's kind of the only way and while it an extra burden to the user it does have the benefit of providing flexibility.
Code:
Write your own code to send the mail using Outlook Interop or System.Net.Mail and then you will be setting all of the addresses manually anyway.
If you are using AD or something else then you could always get the email address of the current use using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.
Based on an assumption which I cannot find any documentation to back up. That InfoPath uses the account associated with the default store to send email using EmailSubmitConnection. You should be able to use Outlook Interop to find the address that InfoPath will use.
Here is a code sample:
using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;
public string GetDefaultSenderAddress()
{
// This actually opens outlook in the same way as InfoPath does to send the message.
// which can be slow.
string DefaultAddress = string.Empty;
Outlook.Application OutlookApplication = new Outlook.Application();
string DefaultStoreId = OutlookApplication.Session.DefaultStore.StoreID;
foreach (Outlook.Account Account in OutlookApplication.Session.Accounts)
{
if (Account.DeliveryStore.StoreID == DefaultStoreId)
{
DefaultAddress = Account.SmtpAddress;
}
}
// Note you probably won't want to quit if you are about to send the email.
// However I have noticed that this doesn't seem to close Outlook anyway.
OutlookApplication.Quit();
return DefaultAddress;
}
You may have to provide a few more checks in case of different account types etc. But I believe it will work. (I tested it for my scenario and it does).
Note: Of course this opens an outlook instance which you will have to close as well. And it can be slow. Unless outlook is already open in which case it will be very quick. Anyhow when sending from InfoPath Outlook will have to be opened so if you do this just before sending then there should be no noticeable difference.
I would advise using a combination of the no code/with code options so provide a return address which is automatically complete to save the user time. But can be corrected if the user wishes to have the email returned to a different address of if there is a mistake.
Hope that you find that useful.
I have following questions. Assuming I have following code
public class MessageMaker {
public static void helloMessage() {
System.debug( 'Entry point' );
Case c = new Case();
insert c;
EmailMessage e = new EmailMessage();
System.debug( 'EmailMessage created' );
e.parentid = c.id;
// Set to draft status.
// This status is required
// for sendEmailMessage().
e.Status = '5';
e.TextBody =
'Sample email message.';
e.Subject = 'Apex sample';
e.ToAddress = 'my#mail.com';
insert e;
List<Messaging.SendEmailResult>
results =
Messaging.sendEmailMessage(new ID[]
{ e.id });
System.debug(results.size());
System.debug(results[0].success);
System.debug(results[0].getErrors().size());
System.assertEquals(1, results.size());
System.assertEquals(true, results[0].success);
}
}
1.First question. I want to find out using apex code if the message was really delivered.
Here documentation says http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_calls_sendemail_emailresult.htm
Even if success = true, it does not mean the intended recipients received the email, as it could have bounced or been blocked by a spam blocker. Also, even if the email is successfully accepted for delivery by the message transfer agent, there can still be errors in the error array related to individual addresses within the email.
So I have been trying to send email by apex code and look for results[0].success. It seems it says like it is described in documentation, so success is true even though email address was incorrect.
Also I have tried to check this manually through email logs http://eu2.salesforce.com/help/doc/en/email_logs.htm
And I have found following row in resulting log regarding my email sent to incorrect address

1 311.627583 421 4.4.0 [internal] no MXs for this domain could be
reached at this time
But I don't know how to access this information by apex code. Any thoughts?
Second question. If message was delivered and recipient forwarded it, is any possibility to monitor that using apex code? Anybody?
You can't do either of those things. APEX runs on Salesforce's servers and when you send an email it leaves that environment. The only time you can monitor a successful response is when you're dealing with an API that generates webhooks.
I have to move some customer website from one (old) server to another (newer one). All sites are programmed in ASP. One customer sends Email (for his webshop) to his users using the persits framework, like
Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
Mail.Host = "mail.domain.com"
Mail.CharSet = "ISO..."
Mail.Username = "Admin#domain.com"
Mail.Password = "password"
Mail.From = shopmail
Mail.FromName = "Name"
Mail.AddAddress shopmail
Mail.Subject = "Order " & date
Mail.Body = msgBody
Mail.Send
This framework isn't installed on the new server and also there are no SMTP services installed.
How could I get it done that mails could be sent without the features mentioned above? Is there a way to reach a external STMP server with ASP?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
I'v found a solution, it's well documented here (for everyone who's interested in :) ).
