Sage 100

How is everyone using paperless office for emailing when MAS does not support SSL or TSL? I have run into this a couple of times now and I haven't found a simple workaround. There is a KB article that show as ""Closed - NAB"" and there is a request on the Ideas site that I just voted for https://www11.v1ideas.com/SageERP/MAS90and200/Idea/Detail/731 but there doesn't seem to be anything from Sage indicating they will add this. Anyone who is using Google Apps will have this problem.

Just added my vote.

Ditto

Done

Interesting. This just showed up in my inbox... http://webcasts.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=2273067&promo=99&trial=25349811&tag=nl.e099

Mark will like this. Paperless uses a 3rd party called Chilkat Mail to do the actual emailing. I've actually used Chilkat separately in a script to send an instant notification email instead of Biz Alerts, K-Sync. Anyway the data in Company Maint / SMTP tab is formatted and sent to the Chilkat object (DLL) via Sy_PdfConverter.pvc. Chilkat does support TLS and SSL but Sy_PdfConverter.pvc does not have the hooks in it to send the TLS/SSL fields to Google Apps and such. If Sage ends up supporting it they will need to provide: 1) New version of ChilkatMailMain DLL during Wkstn Setup that supports the different permutations of SSL / TLS that are out there today. 2) Additional field in Company Maintenance related to SSL / TLS 3) New version of Sy_PDFConverter.pvc that has SSL / TLS hooks and handles the different permutations.

So it sounds like this may be a ""never going to happen"" item. Is there a reasonable workaround?

No 3 above is most important. Today you need an M/D with Library Master source code to make the sy_pdfConverter change. Curious but what version of MAS (as that tells me version of Chilkat) and who is the email provider that needs SSL/TLS (e.g. Google Apps)?

MAS 90 4.4 PU3 and Google Apps.

Ran into this again -- here's a copy of what the error message looks like just in case anyone runs into this: Unable to login to SMTP connection. ChilkatLog: VerifySmtpLogin: SMTP_Connect: Connecting to SMTP server mail.ntplx.net:25 smtp_host: mail.ntplx.net smtp_port: 25 smtp_user: rcacct login_method: LOGIN 535 5.7.0 authentication failed

I usually like to perform a test with my own credentials just to make sure it works in general.

Voted.

Already had voted :)

Does anyone have a link to any technical information regarding the SMTP server requirements (secure/non-secure). Client has not yet raise an issue on this but in case they do I'd like to provide any relevant Sage technical information about what type of email servers can be used. The main problem is the client looks to us as if we should have done due diligence on their email server and quite honestly in the year 2011 I can't say that I blame them.

What about recommending some type of free on-premise smtp server for just this purpose. Since it would be behind the firewall it should be safe from spammers. Something like this: http://www.argosoft.com/rootpages/MailServerNetFree/Default.aspx
