Emailing from QuickBooks, Sage, Misys and other Applications
General Guidelines
gotomyerp has tight security around all incoming and outgoing traffic, and will require a request from all clients with pertinent information, to allow email traffic through the firewall.
Please note that by default, ports 587 is open, as most service providers use this ports. There is no need to submit a ticket as outlined in the below section if your email provider uses these ports for sending.
Please check some of these common issues that clients typically deal with when emailing:
- If your organization uses an in-house email system, for example, Exchange, Kerio server, Lotus notes etc..., and you are using a self-signed certificate, Quickbooks email will not recognize that certificate, and will fail to send email (by repeatedly popping up with the password prompted when trying to email). Please make sure your email system has an SSL certificate that is issued by a known Certificate Authority, that is recognized by common browsers. Self-Signed certificates are not supported.
Quickbooks mail will require entering a password on the first attempt to send an email via Quickbooks For this reason, "Alias", "Distribution Group" mailboxes will not work with Quickbooks email.
For example: If you have an email:
billing@yourcompany.com, and all incoming mail to
billing@yourcompany.com gets delivered to multiple users' mailboxes, there is a good chance that this email will
not work as the "FROM" email within Quickbooks. If you would like to use this email to send from Quickbooks, please create an actual user mailbox for
billing@yourcompany.com .
Several methods are available at that point (beyond the scope of this article) to allow forwarding of mail to multiple users.
If you have 2-factor authentication used on the mailbox in question, you will need to generate an application-specific password to use. The primary password for that mailbox will not work. Please refer to your email provider's instructions on generating application-specific passwords.
