We are currently using IBM Cognos Analytics and have configured an SMTP server (including account and password) under Local Configuration > Data Access > Notification in the IBM Cognos Configuration. The SMTP server receives all emails, checks them, changes the sender to a no-reply address, and then forwards the messages to a mailing gateway for final delivery.
Instead of using this SMTP server, our goal is to integrate a different application (a “MailProxy”) into Cognos, which can receive the raw components of an email (e.g., sender, recipient, message) along with attachments via a REST API (using HTTPS), assemble an actual email from these components, and then send it out.
Major use cases and requirements:
- Receive emails with or without attachments
- Edit or change all e-mail attributes such as sender, recipient, etc.
- Check the size of the attachment
- Convert the attachment, for example from one encoding to another (UTF-8, ASCII, etc.)
- Be able to zip the attachment
- Forward the e-mail to another SMTP server
- Be able to pause the e-mail if necessary if the check of technical rules was not successful or if there are technical problems.
- Be able to forward a paused e-mail
- The e-mail should comply with the RFC #822 standard (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc822)
