Do you have a DNS server set up anywhere on the network? It might be having

It's been so long since I've done this, I hope top posting is still
out of vogue...
In any event, there are name servers in place. (Actually a push
outward to the upstream host occurs...)
They should be able to resolve the domain, and the email addresses all
around are valid.
If they weren't fully qualified addresses (ie. bob, instead of
bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) I'd see where you were coming from.
Is that the gist of what you were wondering about?
I'll have another run through things and see if there's anything else
of value to post.

Hello everybody,
I'm looking to complete a largely successful SharePoint Services
installation (details at the end of the email), and I'm hoping that
somebody might be able to help with a few straggling issues.
I'm separating things into three posts in hopes it will increase
clarity.
QUESTION: How can I enable Alert emails in SharePoint with the default
IIS SMTP server?
I get the log message "The email address '<EmailAddress>' is unknown",
which would seem to be covered by MSKB article 838109 -- except Active
Directory is not present (and not an option).
The solution from the article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/
838109/) seems to be use a different server, but there are several
other web applications (approx. 5) able to send mail using the SMTP
server. (Changing from MACHINE NAME to IP also didn't return any
better results.)
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!
Matt
--[ Scenario Details ]--
Configuration Details:
- Windows Users batch generated and assigned to Windows Groups
- SharePoint Groups created to match Windows Groups
- Added Windows Groups as users to SharePoint Groups
In a nutshell, this allows an imperfect, but functional login
mechanism for Windows users to gain entry to SharePoint at appropriate
level. SharePoint creates users in UserInfo table on login, though
SharePoint can't see them until they are explicitly added later.
Technical Details:
- WSS 3.0
- Windows Server 2003 (pre-R2)
- IIS + SMTP
- SQL Server 2000 SP4
- Windows Authentication (NTLM)
- No Active Directory- Hide quoted text -
