Changing SMTP port on Codeunit 400

Alex_Chow

Hi,

Has anyone found a way to be able to change the SMTP port on codeunit 400? The internet ISP changed their SMTP port from the default 25 to 587, now the mail will not send.

Have you tried In setup where you specify the SMTP server to put a colon and then the port number?


For example

127.0.0.1:587

Alex_Chow

Yep, sure did. Doing a search on the forum, it was one of the suggestions.

But it doesn't work...

I guess you have to contact MS or use JMAIL com object.
The other option is some port forwarding at router or windows setting, but I don't know

Hmm... That's a good idea! Let me try it out.

use an simple machine as relaying smtp server.you should install IIS with SMTP. set "smart host" in this machine as your real smtp server. as outbound security configuration, you can define all details.

in this configurtaion, nav sends emails to your simple SMTP machine, then it forwards emails to your real SMPTP server. i like this configuration. no error on NAV screen, no freezing NAV..

hope this helps.

So Microsoft has released a fix for this under KB 981354. This KB now allow you to change the SMTP port on codeunit 400.

However, for the life of me I cannot get it to work. When I use the regasm, I get a compilation error on codeunit 400 of Cannot Load Library type.

Anyone else gotten this to work? ](*,)

You probably have to reselect the global variables.
If allready have done this, how are you registering it?

Alex_Chow

Ok, it turns out there's a typo on the KB article.

The automation is suppose to be 'Microsoft Dynamics NAV Mail Helper', instead of Microsoft.Navision.Mail. However, even when I use the proper automation, I get an error that the automation is not loaded properly.

As the KB suggested, I'm using regasm to register it.

Have you gotten it to work by any chance?

TList

The automation name is not important for it to work.
What is important is the guids and the version; indicating the component, type library and version.

Have you tried registering the component with codebase?

regasm /codebase /tlb:Microsoft.Navision.Mail.tlb Microsoft.Navision.Mail.dll

/TList

/*** Perhaps this can help you verify the registration. Replace %INSTALLPATH% with the path to the dll ***/

I have registered the components (dll,tlb) successfully thru regasm but can't see in the Automation List.. :-k

What is the reason behind that ??
Please help me to solve this issue.

Alex_Chow

The automation is suppose to be 'Microsoft Dynamics NAV Mail Helper', instead of Microsoft.Navision.Mail.

Even though I do this, I'm still unable to get this thing to work...

navuser1

Thnx Alex.

I have selected 'Microsoft Dynamics NAV Mail Helper', instead of Microsoft.Navision.Mail in the C/AL Global Window, though I am facing an error message at the time of execution of the Codeunit 400. ](*,) ](*,)

navuser1

Dear all,

I'm facing below error message at the time of sending smtp mail (smtp.gmail.com) thru Codeunit 400.

The SMTP mail system returned the folloeing error message: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not Authenticated. The server response was:5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. b11sm2417142rvf.10

What is the reason behind it ??
Is there required any IIS configuration ??

Kindly reply ...

Alex_Chow

I have successfully installed it with the standalone installer here: http://gotcal.com/index.php/2010/06/smt ... 5-version/

I have just updated the download, as it did not call the register function correctly.

In NAV im using this automation variable:

Name DataType Subtype Length
Mail Automation 'Microsoft Dynamics NAV Mail Helper'.SmtpMessage

SNielsen

Try this installer from this blog: http://gotcal.com/index.php/2010/06/smt ... 5-version/

I have just updated it, as it did not register itself in the previous download. I have tested it on Windows 7, XP and Win2003.

The name of the automation is:
Name DataType Subtype Length
Mail Automation 'Microsoft Dynamics NAV Mail Helper'.SmtpMessage

Alex_Chow

The knowledge base article is full of typos, much like my blog...

Alex_Chow

Can anyone bring up the KB article again? Everytime I search on Microsoft, it comes back a cannot find error message.

Alex_Chow

FYI, the files can be downloaded using KB2280492.

Rallnus

when i use this mail helper i get the error messge: "no Connection to the remote Server".

The authentification data is ok, because it works with other automation servers.
