RE: POP3 Connector



Hello Matthew,

Thank you for posting in the SBS newsgroup.

Also, many thanks for moismoje's input.

According to your description, I understand that you would like to
configure the POP3 Connector to retrieve e-mail from multiple individual
mailboxes with multiple domains. If I have misunderstood your concern,
please don't hesitate to let me know.

To narrow down this issue, please answer and perform the following
questions and steps:

1. As you mentioned, you have the pop3 connector configured to collect
from 3 separate pop3 accounts with all 3 domains having the same user
prefix anyone@. Please refer to the below KB article to configure the
Exchange to receive mail from multiple domains:

268838 Configuring Exchange to receive mail from multiple domains
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=268838

After you finish the above steps, please try again, and then check if the
issue can be re-produced.

2. If the issue persists, please refer to the below information to enable
Diagnostic Logging on POP3 Connector:

1) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and
then click System Manager.
2) In the left pane, expand the Connectors node.
3) Right-click "Connector for POP3 Mailboxes", and then click
Properties.
4) In the "Connector for POP3 Mailboxes Properties" dialog box,
click Diagnostic Logging.
5) Verify that the "Enable event logging on the services" check box
is selected.
6) Under the Services box, click Delivery Service, and under Logging
Level click Maximum.
7) Click OK to apply changes.
8) Close the System Manager console.
9) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools,
and then click Services.
10) In the left pane, right-click "Microsoft Connector for POP3",
and then click Restart. After the service restarts, close the Services
Management console.

After the problem occurs again, the events of POP3 connector will be
created in Application event log. Please check the Application event log
whether there are any error messages noted on this issue, then paste the
full context in your reply.

3. Please refer to the below steps to enable SMTP logging:

1) Open the properties page of the Default SMTP Virtual Server in
Exchange System Manager.
2) On the General tab, check the "Enable logging" box.
3) Click Properties, click the Extended Properties tab and check all
the boxes on the list.
4) Click OK twice.
5) Stop and restart the SMTP virtual server.
6) Reproduce the issue.
7) Stop the SMTP virtual server.
8) Go to the C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\SMTPSVC1 folder and check
the latest two (if there are many) log files.

To get additional information, you may refer to the following KB article:

I am appreciated your time and cooperation. If anything is unclear, please
feel free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
