[Faizer Jameel]

Hi Gurus;
Requirement:
We have Oracle Financials and Hr systems implemented on HPux11.11 - rp7410. The Oracle Alerts that are genertaed in Oracle Applications need to be recieved on microsoft outlook mail users.

I need to know how this could be configured in HPux11.11 so that outlook user could recieve mails designated for them from oracle.

Please provide me a detail step by step instruction on this configuration.
Thanking you all in advance

Hi,

There are two ways of doing it.

1. Setup your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf configure to forward mails to your exchange server. vi /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. Search for ^DS and append your exchange server and restart sendmail. Make sure your exchange server is resolvable on the hp server as well hp server on the exchange server.

2. Install POP server on the box. Then configure your outlook to read mails from the POP.

Configure /etc/mail sendmail.cf file to send all the mails to your exchange server.

vi /etc/mail/cendmail.cf

look for /^DS flag and put your exchange server name infront of it like this.
DSyourexchangerserver

Save and quit sendmail and restart sendmail by,
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop; /sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Goodluck,

The attached script can be called and send attatchments to a mail relay server, even an exchange server if its got pop3 or estmp installed and configured.

It is tested and in production at my shop, though we get to exchange via a smtp relay box.

You have some good info on how to enable sendmail to deliver to Outlook, but it's not clear if that's your issue. To have the mail delivered to the Outlook user, you'll also want to alias the To: address(es) on the Alerts to go to the Outlook user. For Oracle Applications, that's likely "applmgr", but maybe "oracle". In /etc/mail/aliases:

applmgr : username@company.com

where the right hand side is the Internet e-mail address of the Outlook user.
