Setting Up External Mail Access

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides an integrated mail system that is able to send messages to external email addresses. The system uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to do this.

SMTP is a TCP/IP protocol for sending messages from one computer to another on a network. SMTP is used on the internet to route messages. In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, the Send Message Extended system function uses SMTP to route messages to external email addresses.

These are the basic steps to set up external mail access:

1. Set up an external email address for the message recipient on the EnterpriseOne Address Book, Email/Internet Revisions form.

2. Make changes to the JDEMAIL section of the JDE.ini file so that JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can communicate with the mail server.

   • On the workstation, make these changes directly into the jde.ini file.

   • On Enterprise server, make the changes using Server Manager.

3. Verify the SMTP server setup.

4. Define shortcut links.
