Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


In this release, when E-mail Server processes an e-mail that contains comma-separated Message-IDs in the References header, it correctly extracts the Message-IDs. Previously when processing e-mail of this type, which is not compliant with RFC-2822, E-mail Server could repeatedly attempt to process the e-mails, causing an increase of log messages with exception traces. (ER# 308310942)

Supported Operating Systems

The operating systems supported by this release are listed in the Contents, above.

New in This Release

There are no restrictions for this release. This section describes new features that were introduced in this release of E-mail Server.

Corrections and Modifications

This release also includes the following corrections and modifications:


The following scenario has been resolved:

  1. E-mail Server is loading its own configuration cache.
  2. While the loading is in progress, the connection to Configuration Server or Configuration Server Proxy is lost.
  3. E-mail Server tries to reconnect to Configuration Server or Configuration Server Proxy until the connection is retrieved.
Previously, after step 2, E-mail Server was not able to reconnect to Configuration Server or Configuration Server Proxy without being restarted. (ER# 259779261 )


E-mail Server no longer ignores the enable-starttls option, which is used to enable a secure MS Exchange 2007 connection. (ER# 256771447)


The Platform SDK's WebMedia request CreateWebEmailIn can use two protocols. Starting with 8.0.2, only the protocol through ESP is supported by E-mail Server.

Note: For backward compatibility, Platform SDK supports both protocols. (ER# 256163624)


Now, when the CreateEmailOut method is used without fromAddress, E-mail Server throws a ServiceException with the message No valid sender found (either set CustomizedFrom parameter or default-from-address configuration option) and error code 910 (NoValidSenderFoundManualSvcException). (ER# 250022355)

New in This Release

There are no restrictions for this release. This section describes new features that were introduced in this release of E-mail Server.

Corrections and Modifications

This release also includes the following corrections and modifications:


In some rare cases, when an SMTP connection between the corporate mail server and E-mail Server has been idle for a long time, the corporate mail server times out the connection. Now in this scenario, E-mail Server closes this connection to the corporate mail server. Previously, the following happened:

  1. E-mail Server tried to reconnect.
  2. The corporate mail server returned an error message.
  3. E-mail Server treated this error message as an invalid recipient problem and returned an error in the routing strategy.

(ER# 236086258)


E-mail Server now correctly handles incorrectly formatted e-mails. Previously, E-mail Server would exit when processing an e-mail with an incorrectly formatted HTML part. (ER# 242527618)

Supported Operating Systems

The operating systems supported by this release are listed in the Contents, above.

New in This Release

There are no restrictions for this release. This section describes new features that were introduced in the initial 8.0 release of E-mail Server.

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications that were made between Release 7.6 or earlier releases and the initial 8.0 release:


E-mail Server now correctly handles e-mails with an invalid domain in the From address. Previously, these e-mails could get locked in the corporate e-mail system. (ER# 226829494)


If the value for the server option in the [smtp-client] section is left blank, localhost will be used as the default value. This information has been included in the eServices (Multimedia) 8.0 Reference Manual. (ER# 223572160)


E-mail Server now throws the error ServiceException with error code 737 and message Request already in progress, request rejected when a second request is made for an interaction that already has a request in progress. Previously, E-mail Server threw error code 716 and the error message Server overloaded, request rejected in this scenario. (ER# 215528516)


E-mail Server now supports the STARTTLS command. A new option, enable-starttls has been added to the [smtp-client] and [pop-client] sections for this purpose. For more information about this option see the eServices (Multimedia) 8.0 Reference Manual. (ER# 217122307)


When the option convert-idn-to-unicode is set to TRUE, all domain addresses from IRD and all domain addresses configured in E-mail Server options must be specified in Unicode. This information has been included in the eServices (Multimedia) 8.0 Reference Manual. (ER# 200988998)

Known Issues and Recommendations

This section provides the latest information on known issues and recommendations associated with this product.


Do not set both the enable-ssl and enable-starttls options (pop-client and smtp-client sections) to true. Having enable-ssl set to true creates an encrypted connection from the start, which makes an enable-starttls connection impossible. (an enable-starttls connection must start with an unencrypted connection, after which the socket connection is encrypted). (ER# 294454004)

Found In: 8.0.200.03 Fixed In: 

When using Universal Contact Server connected to a database Oracle RAC (Real Application Cluster), the switch from one node to another one can result in duplicating some interactions in the database. (ER# 262701171)

Found In: 8.0.200.03 Fixed In: 

E-mail Server ignores the enable-starttls option, which is used to enable a secure MS Exchange 2007 connection. (ER# 256771447)

Found In: 8.0.000.08 Fixed In: 8.0.200.03

Genesys Agent Desktop will not display images in HTML email. A red x will be displayed, and the image will appear as a link at the end of the email. (ER# 195952111)

Found In: 7.6.100.07 Fixed In: 

By design, E-mail Server does not support HTML with embedded objects. These objects are treated as attachments by E-mail Server. (ER# 211078869)

Found In: 7.6.000.09 Fixed In: 

Processing of inline text/xml is not supported by E-mail Server. E-mail Server functionality such as classification and redirect cannot be done with inline text/xml. (ER# 152217106)

Found In: 7.5.000.11 Fixed In: 

E-mail Server does not support external resource e-mails (in/out) in HTML format. (ER# 2105374)

Found In: 7.1.000.05 Fixed In: 

E-mail Server becomes caught in a loop attempting to allocate CPU resources if an interaction submission to Interaction Server fails. This occurs when the Interaction Server database is not working properly; for example, when no space is left on the server. (ER# 80270)

Found In: 7.0.100.07 Fixed In:
