When trying to connect an EmailInput node to our corporate exchange server, I am receiving connection errors.
Excerpt from user trace: unable to communicate with email server ''pop3://{hostname}:{port}''. The error message is ''EOF on socket''.
When trying to ping to the above address, I receive the error:
"Ping request could not find host pop3://{hostname}:{port}. Please check the name and try again. "
However, a ping to {hostname} works.
Also, a telnet {hostname} {port} does not return any connection erorrs
The exchange server is both IMAP and POP3 compatible.
Does anyone know if there is anything that I can do on the WMB end or is this something that needs to be passed back to the exchange server /network support team..? |

| Could you please provide exact information on what you have populated in the properties of the EmailInput node or the configurable service you are using with it? |

Configurable Service:
EmailServer
EmailTemplate
securityIdentity=''
serverName=''
myservice
securityIdentity='mySecurityIdentity'
serverName='pop3://{hostname}:995'
EmailInput node properties:
Basic: Email server = pop3://{hostname}:995
Security: Security Identity = mySecurityIdentity |

As the email server is listening on port 995 for POP3 (SSL/TLS), will the pop3 protocol in MB be sufficient to handle the security..? (not pop3s)
I am running MB v7.0.0.2 |

I am hoping that "{hostname}" is actually replaced in the real configuration with a valid and correct hostname.
I don't believe that Broker 7.0.0.2. at least, does actually support POP3/SSL. But I've not double-checked the info center, and it might be updated for 7.0.0.3 by now.
If it does support it, I would expect that the url would actually have to be "pop3s://{hostname}:995". |

Yes, {hostname} is replaced with the correct URL. 
After some more digging, I think you are right and 7.0.0.2 does not support POP3/SSL. 
Not too sure if this has been brought in by 7.0.0.3 but I'll have a look at the info center.
Thanks. |

I have had a look at the 7.0.0.3 infocenter and I can't see anything relating to SSL connections via the EmailInput node.
Does anyone know if this is supported by Message Broker or is it simply a case of adding the appropriate certificate to the TrustStore..? |

Dears,
I am also getting the same exception "EOD on Socket". I am using WMB 8.0 and trying to connect to gmail POP server.
What i want to know is that how do we set up SSL for Email ? I have done the same for Webservces and MQ. But not for Email.
Any pointer or link where i can get more info would really help me a lot.
Thanks & Regards,
Sarath KS |
