Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks
because they are related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813,
W3830, W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission
errors on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab, added in PlanetPress Suite 7.5, is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area
(Task comments)that lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog
is closed with the OKbutton, and are displayed in The Task Comments Pane.
SMTP Input
SMTPinput tasks are used to receive SMTP requests made by any email client or other SMTPcommands
and can act as an SMTPproxy, processing emails before they are sent to another SMTPserver. In order for
this task to receive files, the SMTPServer (also called "Outgoing Email Server")in the email client must
point to PlanetPress Workflow server's IPor hostname.
Warning
Emails received through this task will not reach their intended destination if the process does not end
with a Send Email Output Task, or contain the PlanetPress Connect "Create Email Content Set" on
page 417 task.
Input
The SMTPInput task does not, by itself, capture any files. Neither does it directly wait for requests to be
received. Actually, it is the SMTPServer service that receives the requests and places them in a specific
location on the drive. When a request is received, the SMTP Input polls that location and finds the requests
and all attachments. It will always pick up the "oldest"request received.
