Receiving e-mails in SAP (from Exchange 2000)

[Former Member]

Hello everybody.

I would like to know if anyone has had the experience of configuring the SMTP service to receive e-mails in your inbox from SAP, sent from the server of Microsoft Exhange 2000.

We have SAP 4.7 Enterprise with the SMTP service and to operate without problem, allowing SAP to send mail from external accounts.

But now we want to setup the opposite side, from the Exchange server emails to the inbox of users of R / 3.

And followed every step that explain the notes of SAP 455140 and 546147, but is not working.

There is some additional configuration to be done at the mail server (Exchange) to be able to route these emails to the server SAP?

According to the note 455140, says:

...." Settings on the mail server (SAP-external configuration) To be able to receive mails in the SAP system, you need to set your mail server so that certain mail addresses are forwarded to one or several SAP systems or clients. For this purpose, you need to define routing rules that assign a mail host and/or port to address areas (generic address parts, usually the domain), for example:

*@crm-prod.company.com --> SAPWASHost:25000

*@crm-test.company.com --> SAPWASHost:25001

For more information about the exact setting procedure, see the mail server documentation. Note 546147 describes where the documentation can be found for the Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, and what to do if your mail server does not allow routing to ports other than port 25u2026u2026..u201D

Appreciate anyone who can guide me in this case.

Hello,

Yes, you need to set up email relaying on the Exchange server. You don't want the Exchange server to handle email sent to SAP, you want it to relay it to SAP (which acts like an SMTP server). Create a subdomain for each SID to receive email (if your company domain is mycomp.com and your SAP SID is PRD you should create a subdomain prd.mycomp.com). In Exchange enable email relaying/forwarding to send any emails to the new subdomain to the SAP server on the smtp port you set up in the earlier steps.
