SMTP Further Considerations

Keep in mind the following considerations:

  • PeopleSoft mail integration is on the application server only.

    PeopleSoft software does not support VIM/MAPI, because this option is client-side-only integration, and PeopleSoft Internet Architecture applications run on the server side.

  • The application server communicates directly with the SMTP server through telnet by using standard SMTP commands with Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) 1.0 messages.

  • PeopleSoft software currently supports UTF-8 encoding of the email messages by default, and you can encode email messages in other ways.

    With server-side integration, you do not have to certify any specific email client application. You can use any application to read email.

  • PeopleSoft recommends using the Multichannel Framework mail classes for all email sent from a PeopleSoft application.
