Troubleshooting Ideas If Experiencing Emailing Payslips Issues:
This may be due to:
- The mail server (creating blockages or not allowing ‘apps’ to email).
- ISP – not providing accurate details or assistance.
- Firewalls/Anti-Virus – creating blockages.
Should you encounter such issues, Mastergroup cannot assist any further. Therefore, you need to escalate (raise a query) with your ISP, Network Admin or PC Technician.
If after ruling out spaces in email addresses and unrecognised characters or fonts here are some points that we try to convey to customers that are experiencing winsoc, socket errors, unable to relay, etc.
- Wagemaster is not a mail client, it is just trying to connect to the mail server to relay the email.
- As far as the function of sending emails, this is controlled outside our application, there is no option, setup or configuration other than connection details that can be entered within the application. As you can appreciate, we do not have any settings within the application that control how emails are sent as the application has been designed simply to relay messages to a mail server or service which then determines what is sent and how. As a result, there is not much we can do or control.
- As Wagemaster is not a mail client, we are not support technicians for various mail server or firewall products nor do we have any association with vendors of these products. Any support and suggestions provided (such as the attached reference documents) is in an effort to assist not to provide a solution or any level of support with any mail server, security or network settings as these are beyond the scope of the Wagemaster Payroll application. Information and assistance provided has been provided to other clients with varying mail server types, firewalls and environments and they have found parts of it useful in finding solutions for their businesses. Wagemaster is not the common factor in the failure of email pay slip relaying. If it were then none of our customers would be able to use the function.
- It is recommended to seek the assistance of your ISP or an IT professional that specialise in Mail Server administration as common issues are due to firewall\anti-virus settings, blacklisting of domains and potentially relay connector settings configured as a part of the smtp server configuration.
