Re: Default SMTP virtual server "Current Connections" Stuck

That's bogus, and the developer doesn't know what he's talking about. Any
server that supports ESMTP will also support the standard SMTP verbs. If
you telnet to your Exchange server, you can issue either a HELO or an EHLO
(Extended HELO). The problem, as was pointed out, is that your scanner
doesn't even issue the HELO command. Any app that doesn't issue a HELO
first isn't going to be able to send mail.

Yes users are scanning from the machine itself. I have talked Lanier
about a
firmware, but have gotten passed around between supposed "techs". I'm
currently waiting to hear back from one that is supposed to be the expert
on
these devices.

I found an SMTP test utility that did the same thing as the scanner and
this
is what the developer told me when I questioned why:

"Your Exchange server is running ESMTP (Extended SMTP) and not SMTP.
Your printer (and our test app) does not fulfill the ESMTP standard as it
does not perform the EHLO handshake.

We are working on the app and ESMTP will be supported in the next release.

The better solution would be to fix the scanner. Just because it isn't
following RFC's for sending messages doesn't mean that the problem is
with
Exchange. Check with the company that makes the scanner to see if there
are
any updates, or if anyone else has encountered this problem.

As far as your question, there is no way that I know of to make Exchange
2003 "emulate" a 5.5 server.

Are you scanning\e-mailing from the machine itself?

Oliver,

This scanner does work when sending to a 5.5 server. Is there any why
to
make Exchange 2K3 eSMTP emulate a 5.5 server or do something similar to
this?

You're program is not saying 'HELO'.

When you initiate a smtp transfer you have to start the 'conversation'
by
HELO (or EHLO for eSMTP).

Try it from the command prompt. Telnet to any SMTP server you can
think
of
(do an MX dig on some random domains) and you will not be able to send
a
mail without typing HELO first.

Order:

HELO
MAIL FROM: yoursmtpaddress@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
RCPT TO: whoyouwant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
data
type what you want
..
quit

Hello,

I have a Lanier email\scanner that will not send via the Exchange
2003
Default SMTP virtual server I can see the connection in the "Current
Connections" but it just sit there and never sends.

If I change the scanner to send to my old 5.5 server the messages
send
without a problem. Also other scanners on different subnets are
working
fine.

I did some testing and this is where it gets stuck.

220 emailserver.domain.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version:
6.0.3790.1830 ready at Tue, 12 Sep 2006 23:03:05 -0400
MAIL FROM:Administrator@xxxxxxxxxx
503 5.5.2 Send hello first

Thanks for the help!
