Send Internet Email

[michael petrosh]

Hi Everyone,
To get email out to the Internet from SAP a few things
need to occur.
Set up a mail gateway, either sendmail (UNIX) or
Exchange Connector. A node in Tx SCOT will also need
to be set up. WF-BATCH should have an Internet mail
account, and his mail account should be referenced in
SU01. I also set WF-BATCH to auto forward t himself in
SO36. Now all you need to do is test it out.
 
P.S. use the latest version of Exchange connector
(1.54)
 
Cheers,
Michael Petrosh
