Re: MOSS 2007 & WSS 3.0 List E-mail Configuration

I maybe missing something here but it looks like you are sending the WSS email to MOSS server. Here is something that I do when testing email on a SharePoint server.

Using Outlook express I set up an email account that points to the SMTP server on the SharePoint box I want to use. Email enable the list I wan to test and send the email. Your email address should look something like this:

wsslist@servername
or
wsslist@FQDNofServer

Be sure the SMTP server on the SharePoint box is configured to accept email for the name of the server you are using.

Mike,

This does concern WSS 3.0.

The situation is that I have e-mail to lists working on my MOSS farm. I want to get it working on my WSS farm. Both are configured exactly the same. Therefore, WSS should work, but it doesn't. I'm using my MOSS farm for SMTP delivery to WSS (I wanted to keep the FQDN addresses the same). I see the WSS e-mail hit the drop folder, but then it just disappears. Where does it go? All the logs indicate a "The following aliases were unknown" error.

I have two (2) farms on the same network. I have a MOSS 2007 farm that is configured to e-mail to lists. This works like a champ, this is not the problem. On the SAME network, I have a WSS 3.0 farm. I want to be able to e-mail to lists between farms.

For this example, the company Internet address is www.moss_server.com. The email address with FQDN would be MOSSlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for the MOSS farm and the WSS list email address with FQDN would be WSSlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Here’s a high level IP example:

MOSS Farm -
SMTP Server IP Address: 192.168.2.10
List E-mail Address: MOSSlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

WSS Farm - SMTP Address: 192.168.2.20
List E-mail Address: WSSlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

SMTP is enabled on all servers involved. Admin rights to both farms are configured on all sites. MX records are configured for all sites on the MOSS farm. When I send an e-mail, I see it delivered to the mail drop box on the MOSS farm, but once it disappears, I have no clue where it goes. It simply doesn’t get mailed. I just can’t seem to get it to work.

One other note, we are NOT using an Exchange Server at this time. This is not an option, nor is likely to be one in the foreseeable future (political reasons). Is this even possible w/o an Exchange server (even on the same network)?

Any thoughts?
