Evaluate log files

The esBusiness server service continuously saves a record of any errors that occur in error logs. These messages are mostly generated by instances outside the services, such as the operating system, mail server, etc., and are passed on by the services and finally saved by the Business server in the log files.

Some of these messages and brief descriptions of how to remedy the errors are given below:

Error message Description Additional information / Actions

Smtp error:

421 4.4.2 Message submission rate for this client has exceeded the configured limit

The message limit of your mail server has been reached (spam protection or similar).

Make appropriate adjustments to the mail server if needed.

Appropriate adjustments to the mail server (Exchange for example) are needed.

SMTP error:

501 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax

Two possible causes:

An email address (containing @ or <>) has been entered in the Sender name field in the user's personal settings (= email sender). ONLY a name must be entered here.

 

If the sender's email address is a department, it is possible that the email address and sender name have been confused. An email address (containing @ or <>) must not be entered in the Email sender field.

1. User's personal settings

See Settings | Office | CRM | Personal - 'Email' area - Sender name field.

 

2. Department settings

See Settings | General | General | References | - Departments Email address / Email sender fields.

Smtp error:

501 5.1.7 Invalid address

This message indicates that the sender address is incorrect, for example: the email address is incomplete.

The service user requires Send as authorization.

Also see esBusiness server requirements Service user

Smtp error:

550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender

The user under which the service is running is not authorized as the current sender (sender email address) to send emails, or the sender address is invalid.

Check the sender of the email.

Also check whether the contents of the Email address and Email sender fields have been confused in eserp (Settings | General | General | References | Departments).

Smtp error:

550 5.7.1 Unable to relay

Smtp error:

421 4.3.2 Service not available

In most cases a corresponding receive connector on the part of the Exchange server is missing or it has not been configured correctly for Relay.

Error connecting SMTP-Server:

The specified host is unknown.

The specified mail server was not found or is invalid. Check the syntax of the host name for the outbox server or the mail group.

Also see ESServerConfig:

Email | Outbox server SMTP settings area Host name

or

Email | Mail account settings - 'Access data' area -> Host name

Error connecting SMTP-Server:

500 5.3.3 Unrecognized command

The mail server does not support the specified option (TLS, for example).

Deactivate TLS in ESServerConfig Email | Outbox server and Email | Mail account settings | 'Access data' area - SSL / TLS or activate the corresponding options on your mail server.

Error connecting SMTP-Server:

504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type

Your mail server does not support the authentication m ethod used by the esBusiness server service.

Basic authentication (login authentication) is required for the mail server in order to send emails.

TELNET Client can be used to check this as follows:

TELNET [smtp-Server] 25

HELO Servername

AUTH LOGIN

If this message also appears, the email account is not yet set up correctly. Get your administrator to check this if needed.

SMTP Error: 530 5.7.57 SMTP: Client was not authenticated to send anonymous mail during MAIL FROM

This message indicates that the SMTP server configured in your email account can set up a connection to a SMTP client submission terminal but cannot be used to send directly.

In most cases it is sufficient to set the Anonymous user option in the receive connector of the Exchange admin center under Connector - Security -> authorization groups.

Error connecting SMTP-Server:

535 5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful

Username or password is incorrect. Check the syntax of the user name and specified password.

Also see ESServerConfig:

Email | Outbox server - SMTP settings area - User name / Password

or

Smtp error: 550 5.7.1 Service unavailable, Client host [xx.xx.xx.xx] blocked using Spamhaus. To request removal from this list see http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup.lasso (AS16012612) [xxxxxxxxxxx.prod.protection.outlook.com]

The message indicates that sending of emails is generally blocked, for example by spam protection (blacklisting).

In such cases, contact the provider named in the message to get your sender data removed from the spam filter (blacklist).

 

Userlogin failed. Please check your ES office settings for the service personnel number

No personnel number has been entered in the eserp settings for the esBusiness server service, or the entered personnel number is invalid (personnel number does not exist in personnel master data).

A Service User must be recorded for the Business Server in the eserp Settings under Settings | External programs | es2000 | esBusiness Server | Settings.

esBusiness server requirements - Service user

Service level 0 for Servicecall xxxxx not found.

A constellation of the settings (escalations, etc.) requires that a service level that no longer exists is to be set for a call.

 

Check the following settings / references for service management in eserp to see if corresponding service levels have been created or assigned:

Settings | Service | Service management | References | Service level -> 'Associated escalation points' table

 

Settings | Service | Service management | References | Escalation points -> 'Associated service level' table

 

Settings | Service | Service management | Settings | Help desk - 'Approval' area - Default service level

 

The request failed. The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.

This message can occur if an attempt is made to connect to the Microsoft Exchange server when using the Exchange interface. Please note that a connection is only possible through a protected SSL channel.

You must obtain a corresponding SSL certificate and embed this in the IIS for this.

 

A certificate that is not self signed is required.

A certificate issued and checked by a trustworthy certification agency (CA - Certificate Authorities) is required for this purpose.

Also see Business server - 'Client settings' area.

 

Error: invalid settings in database for callstate

One or more service call statuses have not been defined correctly.

Check the Service call status settings in eserp under Settings | Service | Service management | Helpdesk - 'Status' area. The error message will occur if a service call status has not been defined for each and every category.

Create MailBoxParser: Wrong account name and/or password. The server responded: MBN00000006 NO LOGIN failed. This message is represented in the Business server interface as follows:

 

Could not connect to IMAP server using the supplied access data. Please check the entries.

 

Please check that all the access data has been entered correctly in the mailbox settings of the esBusiness server.

Please note that the Exchange server may expect a different syntax. For example, domain/user may be correct for one server, while another may expect domain\user.

Problems with the IMAP protocol have occured in the past with Exchange 2013 with cumulative updates for Microsoft Windows.

Information about remedial measures for this situation can be found under the following link:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/mspfe/archive/2015/08/24/exchange-server-2013-cu9-watch-your-imap-clients.aspx

TELNET can also be used if needed to check access from the computer that is running the server services. As well as the example given, other measures can be found on the Internet. These should be applied by an administrator.

TELNET [Servername] 143

Response: * OK The Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 service is ready.

? LOGIN domain/user password

Response: * OK LOGIN completed.

? LIST '' '*' (This command should display a list of the available folders)
