Test E-mail Interface  (kourier_email_test_interface_def.aspx)


Purpose

Use this page to test the delivery of e-mail from Kourier Integrator for U2 to other addresses. This will validate that the Data Source Name for the SMTP Queue is configured properly. See also:  Guide to Using Data Source Names (DSNs).

File/Key Field

N/A

Prerequisites

On Microsoft Windows systems only, setup a Data Source Name for KS_SMTP Queue using the Data Source Name page.

Fields

Send From

Enter the sender's e-mail address. The sender's address may be a literal string such as sales@koretech.com. Unlike the Send To field, you may not specify multiple e-mail addresses as most SMTP servers will reject this formatting.

Send To

Enter the recipient's e-mail address. To enter multiple recipient addresses, separate each address using a semicolon.

Send CC

Enter the recipient's e-mail address for carbon copy. To enter multiple recipient addresses, separate each address using a semicolon.

Send BCC

Enter the recipient's e-mail address for blind carbon copy. To enter multiple recipient addresses, separate each address using a semicolon.

Note: The blind carbon copy recipient's e-mail address is not visible to the primary recipient or any normal carbon copy recipients.

Subject Enter the subject line for this  test. The subject line may be a literal string such as Thank you for ordering from Kore Technologies.
Attachment

Enter the full path name of a file to send as an attachment to this e-mail. The field may be a literal string such as d:\dbms\live\attachments\mydoc.xls. To enter multiple attachments, separate each full path name using a semicolon. The full path name may not reference an item ID in a hashed file.

Note: The path name must be recognized by the U2 server not your local PC.

Message

Enter the actual text of the message. The message can be either plain text or in HTML format.  In either case, substitution literals may be referenced in the message to cause dynamic data to be substituted into the message when Kourier sends it as an e-mail.

When creating an HTML e-mail template, you may want to use a more robust HTML editing tool like Microsoft's FrontPage to develop the layout of your message; then simply select all html text in the HTML tab and paste it into the message field.

After the fields above have been entered, press the Submit button to send the test e-mail.

If you do not receive the e-mail, check the spelling of all the e-mail addresses entered. Then check to make sure the KS_SMTP queue is defined correctly. On NT systems, the SMTP server must be directly accessible from the U2 server and must be configured to route intranet and Internet e-mails. On UNIX, sendmail must be configured to properly route intranet and Internet e-mails.
