Hi All,

I'm trying to send email from AX using codes below:

    SysEmailId sysEmailId = "testEmail";
    str recipientEmail = "abc@mail.com";
    Map mappings;

    ;

    super();

    this.enabled(false);

    mappings = new Map(Types::String, Types::String);
    SysEmailTable::sendMail(
            sysEmailId,
            //'en-us',
            SysEmailTable::find(sysEmailId).DefaultLanguage,
            recipientEmail,
            mappings,
            '',
            '',
            true,
            curUserId(),
            true);

What I have done so far:

1. Setup the SMTP server on Windows Server

2. Setup email parameter in System Administration - Email Parameters

The emails are queued in Email Sending Status, but not being sent out to the recipient.

I also tried to send email using PowerShell

Send-MailMessage -SMTPServer localhost -To test@abc.com -From test@abc.com -Subject "This is a test email" -Body "Hi, this is a test email sent using Gmail as a smart host"

But got this error:

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient:SmtpClient) [Send-MailMessage], SmtpException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : SmtpException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SendMailMessage

I'm using my office email for the sender which is a Microsoft exchange account. Any idea what went wrong?

Thank you!

Regards,

Raymon

I Rayon,

Did you setup the Email distributor batch task? If so, can you check if the messages in the sending status do get another status after it had tried to send the message? The powershell option is stating you are using a Gmail smart host as SMTP? Please elaborate what exchange settings you have done in Dynamics AX. Try to find events on related servers. Using a powershell script could give other errors. E.g. powershell email sending could be blocked by administrators.

Hi Andre,

I did not setup the distributor task since I'm sending the email when user clicks on View Bill button.

I changed the powershell using my office email and got this error in return:

Send-MailMessage : The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated

I'm not sure I have configured the SMTP server correctly. Can you give me detailed information?

Thank you.

Hi Raymon,

The error message indicated you were sending email without credential but your Exchang connector does not accept anonymous message. Usually Exchange requires authentication. Also, you have to check if your Exchange allows email relay from AOS. Suggest you to check with your exchange server admin.

How did you set the email parameters? Did you set the user name and password? Reference: technet.microsoft.com/.../aa834374.aspx

Best regards,

Ada

Hi Ada,

Where to set the authentication for Exchange and check whether it allows email relay from AOS?

Set the parameter in system administration -> system -> email parameters

Used my office mail server for the host and port 25.

Raymon

Hi Raymon,

For "Where to set the authentication for Exchange", please check the "Connect Microsoft Dynamics AX to the SMTP mail server" in technet.microsoft.com/.../aa834374.aspx

If the SMTP server requires authentication, enter a valid username and password.

Select the Use NTLM check box.

Please ask the Exchange admin to see whether it allows email relay from AOS.

Best regards,

Ada

Hi Raymonmon,

The user click will create a record in the sending status only. The batch job will pick the list with new messages and will do the actual sending of the message. So please enable the email batch as described in the documentation. Ada Ding provided the link.

Hi Andre,

Yes I just added the email batch job. It's now trying to send the email out but still failed. Do you think it's related to my SMTP setting in windows server?

Thanks.

Hi Raymon,

Please try to use the IP of SMTP server instead of "localhost" in your Powershell script to test your SMTP settings.

Send-MailMessage -SMTPServer IP -To test@abc.com -From test@abc.com -Subject "This is a test email" -Body "Hi, this is a test email sent using Gmail as a smart host"

Best regards,
Ada

Hi All,

I managed to send out email using this tutorial

hellodax.com/.../send-email-via-x-example-code

Thanks for all your help.

I have another question regarding emailing in AX, will it be possible to edit the email before sending it to recipient?
