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

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. It looks for a to address setup just for suppliers.
I put up some Jira way back on this, not complete but you can get the idea.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1286
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-121
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-143
I also integrated OpenAS2 for EDI and work with a van that supplies the
mailboxes necessary.
I have examples of the supplier components of which I have some 70
suppliers, on my demo site.
I am tranfering my Forum over to my site you can read some info

Hello,
I am asked to integrate with a mailing mechanism for order fulfillment, ie.
Supplier wants mails sent when orders are being confirmed with OBFiz. At the
same time I will be getting a nightly confirmation and status information
from Supplier over all pending orders by mail as an attachment.
While I have ideas for full automation about the former (define ECA, write
service, send mail) I am not so sure about the latter.
In principle I would follow the same logic, ie. define ECA, store file
attachment, process it and update the orders. The questions I would have are
as follows::
- I would use a OFBiz-managed mail account to receive mail; how do I
integrate OFBiz with my mailing architecture for mail reception ? Probably
some config somewhere in the framework?
- How can I use the mail-received event and translate to an ECA ?
- How do I detach the file attachment, store it and process it ? Are all
required tools on board with OFBiz?
If anyone has made relevant experience or has done the same thing already, I
would appreciate some hints.
Thanks & regards
Carsten
