Found an interesting question in a popular forum today, on PT_MCF_MAIL application package of PeopleSoft. An attempt to send an email with an invalid mail address was triggered, and the package returned success!.
So, I decided to do some test code on this by myself. Placed a small piece of code in the fieldchange event, that triggers an email. Before you try replicating this, make sure that you have configured the SMTP details in your application server configuration file [ psappsrv.cfg ]
The code is presented below
| import PT_MCF_MAIL:*; Local PT_MCF_MAIL:MCFOutboundEmail &outb_email = create PT_MCF_MAIL:MCFOutboundEmail(); &outb_email.Recipients = "Recipient List"; &outb_email.From = ""; &outb_email.BCC = ""; &outb_email.Subject = "Invalid Email"; &outb_email.ReplyTo = ""; &outb_email.ContentType = "text/html"; &result = &outb_email.Send(); WinMessage("Result -" | %ObEmail_Delivered, 0); |
The ideal expectation here is an error / mail rejection, as the recipient list is invalid. But strangely, %ObEmail_Delivered returns a value of 1 indicating the email was successfully delivered.
I decided to set the "Logfence" property in the application server configuration file to 5, to see what happened inside the code. Here is a trace.

It appears that it is not validated, but an email sending attempt has been made. Weird, but will keep dwelling on this to see what happened at the mail server.

ReplyDeleteLooks like you are trying to send an email with an attachment and PeopleSoft is not able to find the attachment file. (FileNotFound Exception).Check where you are generating the file and where it is available when you invoke sendmail.
yes, you are right.fixed the issue. thanks

Thank you for posting this to your Blog. I had the same issue and you solved my problem.
