Re: Exchange 2000 POP3 to SMTP

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Yes, I have tried 'telnet \\10.0.0.10 25' (as well as 'telnet \\servername
25', 'telnet \\127.0.0.1 25' & 'telnet \\localhost 25') - still with no
success. The rule is setup on my firewall to route traffic from my external
static address through NAT to 10.0.0.10 and I am sure this is working (as I
have been using port 80 successfully for years through this static route),
but remember, I am issuing these telnet commands on the actual SBS box
itself.

Many Thanks
James

If you have one network card and the IP is 10.0.0.10, have you tried
telnet 10.0.0.10 on port 25 ?

If this then works, do you have a rule in your router to put port 25
requests through to internally 10.0.0.10 ?

Hi Michael

Running netstat -an I see a list of Protocols & IP:Ports and a Status for
each - the most relevant of which is:

Proto Local Addr Foreign Addr State
TCP 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:0 Listening

Is this normal (my server ip is 10.0.0.10)? There is no local addr of
10.0.0.10:25 which I would have guessed there would be. Should I be
looking
for any others?

Many Thanks
James

Have you tried running netstat -an to see if you actually have a port
25
listening ?

Hi Micheal

Thanks for your respoonse. I am telneting on (from and to) the actual
exchange server at the moment i.e. 'telnet 127.0.0.1 25' - not got to
the
stage of testing it though my firewall and router yet. I'm sure my isp
allows traffic on all ports so i'm not too worried about that, but
thanks
for the 'heads up' anyway.

Have you confirmed port 25 has been allowed through your router and
that
your ISP does not block port 25 access (Some ISP's in Australia have
started doing this to stop machines being spam relays .. Home users
...
so it is worth checking)

Hi

I'm having trouble getting my SBS2000 server to receive mail
through
SMTP.
Until now we have been happy using the POP3 Connector, but now we'd
like
to
use SMTP. I have started by running the ICW, telling it to use SMTP
and
Disable POP3 and it has made a new SMTP connector. The Virtual SMTP
server
is using all un-assigned ip's on port 25 with no filters and Access
control
has Anonymous, Basic and integrated checked.- there are also no IP
restrictions. Even after running ICW the POP3 connector still
exists -
is
this right?

When testing the setup on the server itself using 'telnet
\\servername
25' I
get 'Could not open connection to the host, on port 25 : Connect
failed'

Active Ports states that inetinfo.exe is listening on port 25.

FWIW - I don't have ISA installed but I am running IIS & GFI Mail
Essentials.

Any ideas why I cannot get the exchange welcome message when
opening
port
25
using telnet?

Many Thanks
James
