Why Are Participants Not Receiving Emails Sent from an AgilePoint Process?

Symptoms

The e-mails sent from an AgilePoint process are not received.

Cause

To find this notification, in Enterprise Manager navigate to the Notifications section. Find the notification by the process template. If the Log column contains an error message, move the pointer over the message to display the detailed message.

Resolution

1. Open the AgilePoint Server Configuration utility. The AgilePoint Server Configuration utility can be accessed via: Start > All Programs > AgilePoint > AgilePoint Server Configuration.
2. Under the System tab, in the Notification area, validate the SMTP Server declaration, and then test the configuration using the Test button.
3. After modifying the SMTP Server value, recycle AgilePoint Server. Do one of the following:
   • For AgilePoint Server running in IIS mode, reset IIS.
   • For AgilePoint Server running in Windows Service mode:
     1. Stop IIS.
     2. Restart the Windows service for the AgilePoint Server instance.
     3. Start IIS.

Cause

AgilePoint Server doesn't recognize the SMTP configuration, although the SMTP configuration in the AgilePoint Server Configuration is correct.

Resolution

1. Find the most recent AgilePoint Server log from AgilePoint Server to display the SMTP Server name that the service is running on.

   For more information, refer to Where Are the AgilePoint Logs?

2. If the value is not correct, recycle AgilePoint Server. Do one of the following:
   • For AgilePoint Server running in IIS mode, reset IIS.
   • For AgilePoint Server running in Windows Service mode:
     1. Stop IIS.
     2. Restart the Windows service for the AgilePoint Server instance.
     3. Start IIS.

The SMTP Server value is recorded in AgilePoint Server log. The following example displays a portion of AgilePoint Server log:
