3673265 - Unable to Retrieve One-Time Passcode Sent to Tenant Technical Email Address

Symptom

  • A third-party verification process requires retrieval of a One-Time Passcode (OTP) sent via email.
  • However, the OTP is delivered to the tenant's technical email address, which has no accessible inbox.
  • As a result, the passcode cannot be retrieved, and the business is seeking an alternative method to address this gap. 

Environment

  • SAP Service Cloud Version 2 1.0
  • SAP Sales Cloud Version 2 1.0 

Cause

  • The tenant's technical email address is a system-managed address without an associated inbox.
  • Messages sent to this address, including OTPs, cannot be directly accessed or retrieved by users. 

Resolution

  • While the technical email address does not support inbox access, inbound email attempts to this address are still processed by the system.
    1. Navigate to the Inbound Email Monitor.
    2. Locate the relevant failed email entry that matches the timestamp and subject of the OTP email.
    3. Download the associated MIME content.
    4. Save the MIME file with a .eml extension.
    5. Open the .eml file using an email client (such as Outlook or notepad ++) to view the contents, including the One-Time Passcode.
  • This workaround allows temporary access to the contents of system-bound emails without requiring direct inbox access.

PS: Please do not use the technical email address as an email channel.
