I am a PHP Developer trying to learn ColdFusion and facing a simple but confusing problem.
I am sending email using the cfmail tag as follows:
<cfmail from = "abc#domain.com"
to = "sushilk#domain.com"
subject = "Testing mail"
server = "192.---.--.--"
password = "----"
port = "--"
username = "abc#domain.com">
It works great when from="abc#domain.com" and username="abc#domain.com", both have the same values. But if I use from="abc11#domain.com" the mail send fails and gets stored in CF Admin. Do I have to use the same from address as to SMTP username?
I'd bet it's a server configuration that rejecting you and not a Coldfusion error.
You can test by using TELNET to the SMTP host - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa995718(v=exchg.65).aspx

I made a web application on visual studio 2017 for ASP.NET core. It has a contact option where users send me an email. It works perfectly in localhost as I receive the feedback. When I build/release using Azure DevOps onto azure app services in the portal my website at its URL loses the functionality of the email option. I wrote the email code using MailKit, if you guys have a better option that works let me know! Thank you.
var message = new MimeMessage();
message.From.Add(new MailboxAddress(inputEmail));
message.To.Add(new MailboxAddress("myemail"));
message.Subject = "Message from: " + inputName;
message.Body = new TextPart("plain")
{
Text = inputMessage
};
using (var client = new SmtpClient())
{
client.Connect("smtp.gmail.com", 587, false);
client.Authenticate("email", "password");
client.Send(message);
client.Disconnect(true);
};
return RedirectToAction("Index");
mywebsite.azurewebsites.net is currently unable to handle this request.
The problem is that you are using gmail. GMail only allows you to authenticate using SMTP/IMAP/POP3 after you've authenticated via the web from a particular device.
I would like to use the AWS SES mail service using SMTP. I know it works for some versions, but I haven't gotten it to work for my application yet. I get a 530 Authentication error.
My question is in three parts:
1. Does AWS smtp work using Grails 2.3.1 with the Mail 1.0.7 plugin using java 1.7?
If it does work, how does one configure it?
If it does work, how can I get more debug information to figure what is wrong?
I've tried every configuration example variant I've come across for this. My latest is below. (It's clear I don't really understand the Mail plugin and the Java mail class, I'm just trying to suss out a working configuration incantation.)
Here is what I have in my config.groovy file:
grails {
mail {
host = 'email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'
port = '587'
username = SMTP AWS username, not IAMS username
password= SMTP AWS password, not IAMS password
props = [ 'mail.debug': true,
'mail.smtp.host' : 'email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
'mail.smtp.auth': 'true',
'mail.smtp.starttls.enable': 'true',
'mail.smtp.port': '587',
'mail.smtp.starttls.required': 'true',
'mail.smtp.user' : smtp username from above,
'mail.smtp.usernme' : smtp username from above,
'mail.smtp.password': smtp password from above,
'mail.smtp.socketFactory.port': '587',
'mail.smtp.socketFactory.class':
'javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory',
'mail.smtp.EnableSSL.enable':'true',
'mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback': 'false' ]
}
}
I have successfully made direct AWS SES emails using the aws-sdk:1.9.40 plugin, by the way.
I am using the mailService.sendmail code from the Mail plugin. This is unchanged (beyond the hardcoded html text), and works fine when the configuration went to our email server.
def resp = mailService.sendMail {
from replyToEmail
replyTo replyToEmail
to user.email
subject emailSubject
html "This is the mesage text Mar 20"
}
Any help at all would be most appreciated!!
I am trying to download the subject of all new mails. The mails are stored in an office365 mail account. So far i have the following:
<cfimap
action ="OPEN"
connection = "Test"
password = "xxxx"
port = "993"
secure = "yes"
server = "outlook.office365.com"
stoponerror = "true"
timeout = "10"
username = "xxxx">
<cfimap
action="getHeaderOnly"
folder="Inbox"
connection="Test"
name="getHeaders"
>
<Cfdump var=#getHeaders#>
<cfimap action="close" connection = "Test">
This is ridiculously slow (several minutes). In my situation I only need to download the subject line of all new mails. I do not need anything else. Any thoughts on how to speed up things.
Update
Came up with an alternative solution. See Convert java code to coldfusion code for an alternative to the cfimap tag.
I am wondering how the process of sending email is working between Dynamics Ax client and Email client that is set for the server as default email client.
First of all can Dynamics Ax use alternative email clients (not outlook) for sending emails and second of all is Dynamics Ax sending whole configuration to the client, or client has to be configured by itself.
Right now I am experiencing unknown error while trying to send email using Windows Live Mail.
Dynamics AX uses MAPI for client mail.
You can use the SysINetMail::sendEMail method to send a simple mail using this.
If you mail in batch another option is to use SMTP mail using SysEmailTable::sendMail.
This requires the use of mail templates.
I know this is an old question but if someone else needs it...
I am using this on a Dynamics AX 2009 and it works like a charm :)
server static boolean sendEmail(EmplId _fromEmplId, EmplId _toEmplId, str _subject, str message, EmailPriority _priority = EmailPriority::Normal)
{
boolean ok = true;
SysEmailBatch emailBatch;
EmplTable fromEmplTable;
EmplTable toEmplTable;
Email fromEmail;
Email toEmail;
;
changecompany( -- TO YOUR MASTER COMPANY --)
{
fromEmplTable = EmplTable::find(_fromEmplId);
toEmplTable = EmplTable::find(_toEmplId);
fromEmail = fromEmplTable.email();
toEmail = toEmplTable.email();
if (! fromEmail)
{
ok = checkFailed(strfmt("no email set up for %1", _fromEmplId));
}
if (! toEmail)
{
ok = checkFailed(strfmt("no email set up for %1", _toEmplId));
}
if (ok)
{
emailBatch = SysEmailBatch::construct();
emailBatch.parmSendername(fromEmplTable.name());
emailBatch.parmSenderAddr(fromEmplTable.email());
emailBatch.parmEmailAddr(toEmplTable.email());
emailBatch.parmPriority(_priority);
emailBatch.parmSubject(_subject);
emailBatch.parmMessageBody(_message);
emailBatch.run();
}
}
return ok;
}
Using SysOutgoingEmailTable and SysOutgoingEmailData you can send email to recipient of any domain and attach files too.
you have following fields:
outgoingEmailTable.EmailItemId
outgoingEmailTable.IsSystemEmail
outgoingEmailTable.Sender
outgoingEmailTable.SenderName
outgoingEmailTable.Recipient
outgoingEmailTable.Subject
outgoingEmailTable.Priority
outgoingEmailTable.WithRetries
outgoingEmailTable.RetryNum
outgoingEmailTable.UserId
outgoingEmailTable.Status
outgoingEmailTable.Message
outgoingEmailTable.TemplateId
outgoingEmailTable.LatestStatusChangeDateTime
outgoingEmailData.EmailItemId
outgoingEmailData.FileName
outgoingEmailData.EmailDataType
outgoingEmailData.FileExtension
insert respective email detail in these tables and you are good to go. Further if it gives permission error do add permission set with
CodeAccessPermission::assertMultiple .
I have this function in forms.py. There is currently no email specifications in my settings.py.
def send_email(FROM_NAME,FROM,TO,SUB,MSG,EXISTING_EMAIL,EXISTING_PASSWORD):
FROMADDR = "%s <%s>" % (FROM_NAME, FROM)
LOGIN = EXISTING_EMAIL
PASSWORD = EXISTING_PASSWORD
TOADDRS = [TO]
SUBJECT = SUB
msg = ("From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\nSubject: %s\r\n\r\n" % (FROMADDR, ", ".join(TOADDRS), SUBJECT) )
msg += MSG+"\r\n"
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.login(LOGIN, PASSWORD)
server.sendmail(FROMADDR, TOADDRS, msg)
server.quit()
I call it my views.py like so
send_email('my_name','from_me#gmail.com','to_som1#gmail.com','my subject','mymessage','my_existing_email#gmail.com','password_to_existing_email')
This works locally. I have tested it with yahoomail and gmail. But when I upload to heroku it gives the error "(535, '5.7.1 Please log in with your web browser and then try again. Learn more at\n5.7.1 support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=78754 et6sm2577249qab.8')"
Can anyone help?
You want to use this:
FROMADDR = "%s <%s>" % (your_name, your_email)
You shouldn't be building emails with string interpolation, that's a good way to get your site used to send spam via header injections. See my answer here for details on how to construct emails securely.
Generally speaking, when formatting from addresses, you should use the format Display Name <email#example.com>. See RFC 5322 for details.
Have you read the page linked to in the error message?
If you're repeatedly prompted for your username and password, or if
you're getting an 'invalid credentials' or 'web login required' error,
make sure your password is correct. Keep in mind that password are
case-sensitive.
If you’re sure your password is correct, sign in to your account from
the web version of Gmail instead at http://mail.google.com
In most cases signing in from the web should resolve the issue
Here is what worked for me. After getting the error Please log in with your web browser and then try again. Learn more etc. when trying to send email from my web application, I logged in to the email via browser from my local computer.
After I logged in, there was a yellow notification bar on top which asking me if I want to allow external application access my mail. I confirmed this and Google asked me to log in to the account from the application within the next 10 mins. This will white-list the application.
