I just setup a W2K server with these setup, Domain controller, AD,
MS-DNS, IIS 5, SMTP (IIS, no other email server software), SP4,
connected to the Internet via a second NIC on DSL and WinPoet as
Internet connection software (static IP). Since it will be an internal
server, I have the last part on the domain as ".local". Also I am not
using its DNS for external use, so under
DNS/server/Forward-Lookup-Zones/ I have removed the "." entry to allow
Forwarder, and setup my ISP's DNS IPs on the Forwarder tab. For all
NICs, I have setup machine's internal IP (10.10.1.1) as DNS address,
and not any of ISP's DNS, assuming it will use the forwarder
information to find external DNS.
I am trying to use the SMTP component of IIS5 for outgoing messages
only (no Smart Host). For the "Default SMTP Server", I have allowed
Relay from all my NICs IPs. I have not setup any client yet, but when
from the server itself I Telnet to Port 25 to Test SMTP Communication
(MS KnowledgeBase (Q153119) my messages get stuck in the Queue folder.
Also, I get the following message in the System Event Log: "Event-ID:
4000 from smtpsvc, Message delivery to the remote domain 'yahoo.com'
failed for the following reason: The remote server did not respond to a
connection attempt".
DSL is functional because browser works fine. I also used Nslookup to
see if that works. The interesting part is that if I use
non-interactive nslookup (C:>nslookup -q=MX yahoo.com), it uses my ISP
DNS and reports tons of Yahoo's MX records. But when I use interactive
nslookup, and at nslookup prompt type "ls -t MX yahoo.com", it does not
work and I get the following:
[ns3.mindspring.com]
*** Can't list domain yahoo.com: BAD ERROR VALUE
I guess if I can get this interactive nslookup to work, it might solve
the problem of stuck outgoing messages. I have a feeling that I am
missing a configuration feature that causes the SMTP not to see the
outside world, but I don't know what.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
