RE: Using Outlook with Exchange Server

Thanks. Guess I need to get more info from the client.

My program attempts to directly connect to an smtp server,
defaulting to using Port25. It does not actually go thru OL. I am not sure
how
Exchange might affect this attempt, or if it would.

I have adjusted the program to allow the user to select other ports to send
the
email. I will experiment with other ports this week and see what I get.

Will check back here with the results, and probably more questions.

Thanks again,
Mark

When Outlook is set to connect to Exchange, it polls. Read here for more
information on that:

You didn't mention what version of Exchange, what version of Outlook, and
how the user is connecting to Exchange. Are they on the same LAN, connecting
remotely via VPN, another method perhaps?

Port 25 is sometimes blocked by some ISP to reduce spam issues. For my
clients not using Exchange, I step them thru the Outlook screens to allow
them to locate the port that is now working with OL and use that same port in
an email program I wrote. I have a client using Exchange that is having
trouble getting a connection with SMTP server, and I thought the most likely
reason is that Port 25 is blocked.

Course, I am not familiar with Exchange, so maybe I am off base on this.
Maybe others here could help me out with more info on it.

Am particularly curious on how Exchange sends email if a port is not
specified, but OL without Exchange requires ports to be specified.

I have written a program to cycle thru some other port options if a SMTP
connect fails when sending email with my program, and am planning to try this
out with this client.

Appreciate any insight on this,
Mark

You don't need an outgoing port number with Exchange. Why do you ask? Is the
user unable to send email or experiencing any issues?

I have a client that uses Outlook with Exchange server. I do not have
Exchange Server, and so the options in my outlook menu are different than
theirs.

I am trying to find where I could direct them in the Outlook menus to find a
reference to the Outgoing server port for email.

In my Outlook it is:
Tools/Options/Mail Setup tab/Email Accounts

Then you get a list of accounts and can choose Change to see the values for
that email account. When you choose Advanced tab, it provides info on the
port numbers being used for Out and Incoming mail servers.

Can anyone tell me how I can find this same info using the Outlook menu if
Outlook is running thru Exchange Server? I found an Advanced tab, but it
does not have this info.

Thanks for any and all help on this,
Mark
