Hi,

I am working on a classical installation of FME server 2017 and after running the post installation script (as admin) I can't see the FME Server SMTP relay service and I can't find the following file to configure the service:

<FME Server Install DIR>\\Utilities\\smtprelay\\james\\apps\\james\\SAR-INF\\config.xml

According to documentation I should have it at this time of installation.

Is there something new in FME 2017 or am I missing something in my installation?

@kenatsafe: I can't follow your documentation because I even don't have the service available.

Anyone having problem recieving email with FME server?

Thank you for your help.

I don't think the SMTP relay service is a separate service in FME 2017, at least it wasn't installed on my machine either :-) I wonder if it's included in the Core now, try configuring a Publication of type "Email (SMTP)" and see if it works.

Hopefully @aaronkoning can chime in with details...

The error message when I try to configure a publication is "Could not find publisher". It's sounds to me like the runPostInstall.bat did not worked properly. However, I can see the email publisher on the file system under "localization/publisher".

The log says: Unable to start email server: Path not found.

Strange, sounds like a case for Safe support.

I sent an email. We'll see next week. I'll post the answer when I'll have it.

You are correct. The FME Server Core now handles inbound SMTP.
Also, I've updated the article to indicate parts specific to 2016 and previous:

@aaronkoning, just a heads up that the batch file for Restart FME Server still tries to stop and start the SMTP service and gives a "service name invalid" error in the command line. It's not really a problem but it would be good to clean up for the next version :)

Are there any config files associated with FME core for smtp and if so where can they be found?
