Hi both,
thanks for the hints. I am receiving mails now. Is there anything special to be said about shared OFBiz system, viz, Tenant-based mail distribution ? I see mails being registered as CommunicationEvents with the common database, but not with the tenant's. I though maybe there is a quick hint ... before I dig deep in mail services ;-) Thanks again Regards Carsten 2011/6/22 BJ Freeman <[email protected]> > I do a lot of Supply chain and Edi. > I make components per supplier since they do not use the same systems. > the component has the custom email sent to the supplier. > I opt to use a xml file that uses a xsl to translate to the format they > use. the XML is a custom one I developed. > There is one MCA that reads emails from suppliers and directs them based > on the contact mech.
