Re: SMTP Programming - Web Development Discussion Boards

Originally I thought that maybe it was because Port 25 is closed on my home router. However, if Port 25 was closed on my router would I still be able to connect while I'm on VPN?

It is unlikely that you can connect directly from home to your company server through normal internet, as most company exchange servers do not allow connections from outside their intranet. When you use VPN you are, presumably, going via the company's intranet and thus seen as a valid user. One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I'm not trying to connect to it so I can send an email through the server. What I was trying to understand how to do was to deliver and email to it. For example, if I build an SMTP server and a client which connects to my that SMTP server and I want to send an email to webmaster@mycompany.com (where mycompany.com is hosted on the Exchange server), how would the SMTP server I created connect to the Exchange server in order to deliver the email? Doesn't the Exchange server have to allow some sort of connection from outside the intranet in order to receive emails from other domains (gmail, yahoo, etc.)?

DisIsHoody wrote: Doesn't the Exchange server have to allow some sort of connection from outside the intranet in order to receive emails Yes, of course it does, but I cannot say why your attempt at connection was rejected. Maybe you should talk to your Exchange administrator for more details on what restrictions the server has. One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I'm going to have to try and do that, unfortunately the person who set it up is no longer with the company and we just have an outsourced IT company that maintains it and they usually aren't very help fully. However, because the web tools were able to connect to is it reasonable to assume the problem is on my end? I was thinking maybe because I dont have a domain name so if the Exchange server tries to lookup the IP address of my computer there is no MX or PTR record. Is this something SMTP servers look for?

I also found something that I dont know how to explain or how it may affect this. The MX record for the server list exchange.mycompany.com. However, even when I'm on VPN, I can't connect to the SMTP server using that address in telnet or the IP address it points to. I have to use remote.mycompany.com, which is shown in the SMTP banner and points to the SAME IP ADDRESS. Is there a setting in Exchange that makes it script only request coming from this address? If so, how do the online SMTP tools discover this subdomain when I only gave the tools the domain name (mycompany.com) and the MX record only shows exchange.mycompany.com? The address remote.mycomany.com is not located anywhere in the zone file.

I'm afraid you are getting deep into the Exchange server now, which is not something I have worked with. One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Okay thanks...I'm going to move this thread over to the Hosting/Server forum. Hopefully someone familiar with Exchange will be able to figure this out. I appreciate your help thus far.

We use XSLT to convert various XML files into tab delimited.

Some of the XML input files have a variable number of options.   Sometimes none, others 1,2,3 or more.

This makes the formatting difficult since there is also a header row that is created in the XSLT file that must have the exact number of columns and proper header context.

So the question is how to get this formatted correctly since if we provide for 2 sets of opts (from the W3Schools tryit) in the header row how to get the for-each to stop at 2.

     <cd>
          <title>Eros</title>
          <artist>Eros Ramazzotti</artist>
          <country>EU</country>
          <company>BMG</company>
          <price>9.90</price>
          <year>1997</year>
     </cd>
     <cd>
<opts length="3">
<opt><name>Nm1</name><val>111</val></opt>
<opt><name>Nm2</name><val>222</val></opt>
<opt><name>Nm3</name><val>333</val></opt>

</opts>

Typical for-each
<xsl:for-each select="opts/opt">
   <td><xsl:value-of select="name"/></td>
   <td><xsl:value-of select="val"/></td>
</xsl:for-each>

In this case there will be 3 sets of opts but 2 sets of headers and all data after this will be off.

Tried using xls:when test="@length =...' but don't see a way of just getting 2 of the 3 opts.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi, not sure if this article will help but it might be worth a look, http://p2p.wrox.com/xslt/32423-sorting-limiting-each-top-most-recent.html[^] You might be able to do something with position() as they are suggesting based on the number of headers ? Hope this Helps Chris

Thanks

Yes, using the Position() function did help but part 2 of this was still a lot more code that had to be added to complete what I needed to and I do not like it.

<b>How do we code for the mininum number of iternations when the input XML has less than the minimum?</b>

The Position did limit the output to the number of iterations we needed to see but it did nothing to fill in if the number of iterations was LESS that what we expected.

In our case the input XML had a length attribute.
<pre lang="xml">
<Opt length="1"><Opts>data</Opts></Opt></pre>

So we had to add a bunch of if or choose statements
<xls:if test="@length = "1">
...fill put in 4 output empty values
</xls:if>
<xls:if test="@length = "2">
...fill put in 3 output empty values
</xls:if>

Is there a better way?

Hi,
I haven't done anything like this before but I did a quick bit of hunting around and something like this might do it for you. Please note this is totally untested and is just an idea. I thought about how to do a while or a normal for loop in XSL and then try and find away of checking if the element at position x existed. This is cobbled together from a couple of SO posts and my own take on how to put it together.

Sources:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11127693/how-to-do-a-while-like-loop-in-xslt[^]
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5791053/xslt-if-tag-exists-apply-template-if-not-choose-static-value[^]
http://www.sourceware.org/ml/xsl-list/2000-08/msg01503.html[^]

From those articles this is what I have cobbled together:

<xsl:template name="for_loop">
	<xsl:param name="num">1</xsl:param> <!-- param has initial value of 1 -->
	<xsl:param name="limit"></xsl:param> <!-- this should be the expected number of opt elements, passed into the template -->
	<xsl:if test="not($num = $limit)">
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="not(opt[position() = $num)"> <!-- true if the element DOES NOT exist -->
				<!-- create your empty xml here -->
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>
				<!-- the element exists get the data and output that -->
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
		<xsl:call-template name="for_loop">
			<xsl:with-param name="num">
				<xsl:value-of select="$num + 1">
			</xsl:with-param>
                        <xsl:with-param name="limit">
				<xsl:value-of select="$limit">
			</xsl:with-param>
		</xsl:call-template>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Hope this helps.

Chris

Yes, I started to look at params and variables but with the complexity of the multiple templates I just could not get it to work. The XSLT is too big as it is and it was hard to put it all together. I will have to re-look at it and perhaps test with a small XSLT until I can get the multi-templates and for loop template to work. Thanks!

Hi,
not sure if this is any help, I have used this to produce a student timetable grid. It does not do anything fancy at all, but it does use params and nested templates. It's quite old now and i'm sure it could be improved no end but it works well and might be of interest.

Hello, how do I design a pop up menu just like the one on www.list-of-companies.org when you click the country dropdown link. I would actually prefer a solution that categorizes the link. Thank you.

Some of the biggest web sites use PHP/MySQL, some use CodeIgniter as a MVC solution when developing PHP/MySQL solutions. Some use WordPress, which incidentally is PHP/MySQL. Other websites use ASP.NET with some flavour of SQL Server. Other solutions include JSP. But a Google search can deliver to you much more information than I can in a single reply.
