AW: Sending Internet mails with different sender(!) e-mail adresses.

[Dr. Thorsten Wewers]

Erich,
 
I built this for a customer just recently in 4.6; presumably, it works in
earlier releases as well. The basic idea is to make use of the BOR object
types MESSAGE and RECIPIENT (especially the method MESSAGE.SetNextSender).
These object types provide the functionality of the so-called Business
Communication Interface (BCI). How they work is described very well in th=
e
R/3 library under Basis->Basis Services->...->BCI. Another source of
information to familarize yourself with the BCI, are the reports named
RSSOBCITEST## where "##" is a 2-digit number; they are provided by SAP as
samples for BCI use (they are there in 4.6 at least).
 
Finally, you can incorporate the coding in the SELFITEM.SendTaskDescripti=
on
method by adding an optional import parameter "SenderAddress". What you t=
hen
have, is a nice and flexible mechanism that is close to the standard as
well.
 
Don't hesitate to contact me directly if you need more detailed informati=
on.
 
Cheers,
 
Thorsten Wewers

Betreff: Sending Internet mails with different sender(!) e-mail
adresses.
 
 
Hi, who can help me.
I send Internet mails (SMTP) with the method "SendTaskDescription" of the
object "SELFITEM" (like dokumented and used in the SAP-task  TS30000102 o=
f
WS30000015).
It works well.
 
But i have one problem:
The adress of the sender of the e-mail is always the same, namely the
Internet mail (SMTP) address of the RFC-Workflow-User in SAP (which is th=
e
creator for batch-workitems).
 
But now i have different applikations and i have to give the mail-receive=
r
the possibility to send back (=3D to answer) to the correct official in c=
harge
and not to a workflowadministrator.
 
Has anybody an idea, how to make variable the sender Internet adress (at
best with a container element)?
 
Is it possible to customize the object "SELFITEM"? I tried, but i did not
succeed.
 
thank you in advance:
