I have gone through every business space and have confirmed that none of these settings are to be found in any of the 'System Settings' and have confirmed this by going directly into the database and searching extensively for mail.iportcentral.com or mail.i-m-sportal.ca

Can you give me any idea if I should be concerned about these ongoing errors and if so, what I can do to try and troubleshoot them.

Thanks,
Pete

Hi Pete,

Email settings (mail host etc.) for intelligent objects can be specified directly in the Configuration Tool rather than in the System Settings. You may want to check your business spaces for such objects.

pbrad

Thanks, I rely on system settings now but in the beginning I must have used the object level settings. I have found them and removed them.

Thanks again,
Pete

Hi again,

I have now gone through every business object of every business space on the server and there are definitely no instances of the email settings set directly for intelligent objects or incoming email settings set for any 'systems setting'.

I am wondering if there is a possibility that the existence of email settings in either some of the obsolete versions or perhaps a cache somewhere could be causing the log errors?

Any ideas?
Pete

Hi Pete,

In addition to published business spaces versions, emails are also processed in business space versions under test.

pbrad

Hi,
I don't have any versions under test on the server, I only test from my local pc. Any other ideas?

thanks,
Pete

Are there any files in the UNSENT_EMAIL folder? If there are try to delete them.

pbrad

Hi,

No, the Unsent Mail folder is empty but the errors keep on coming.

Can you check the output of the Aware IM server immediately after the server starts up? It must display diagnostics about the channels it is opening - there must be an unwanted e-mail channel there. Just want to confirm that the unwanted is there.

Also check for the file with the name that starts with "outgoingEmail" and has the prefix of the business space for which e-mails are sent. Is it present in the root Aware IM directory?

pbrad

Hi,
I will have to wait until tonight to reboot the server and will report back. The Outgoingemail files are in the bin folder and the information in them is correct.
