Re: SMTP configuration



Hi Miso,

Thanks for your update! I am jenny and I am backup of Charles for he is now
taking leave. I will continue work with you. I am sorry for inconvenience
for that.

I am sorry for the delayed response due to weekend. Please understand that
the newsgroups are staffed weekdays by Microsoft Support professionals to
answer your systems and applications questions. Your understanding is
greatly appreciated!

In SBS environment, you just need run CEICW wizard (Server Management
console -> Configuration E-mail and internet connection -> Connect to the
Internet) to configure exchange server as smart host. For your convenience,
I list the brief steps for your reference:

A. Click Start, click Server Management.
B. Click To Do List and then click "Connect to the Internet".
C. Click Next, select "Do not change connection type" and click Next.
E. Select Enable firewall and click Next.
F. Ensure E-mail is selected and Click Next.
G. Go through the steps until the Internet E-mail page shows, select
"Enable Internet e-mail" and click Next.
H. Select either "Use DNS to route e-mail" or "Forward all e-mail to e-mail
server at your ISP". If you select the latter, enter the ISP SMTP server.
Click Next.
I. Specify to receive e-mail using one or both of the following methods:

- POP3 Mailboxes
- Exchange

Click Next.

J. Enter your e-mail domain name and click Next. The e-mail domain name
should match the mail exchanger (MX) resource record maintained at your
ISP. This must be a registered Internet domain name.
K. Go through the steps to finish the wizard.

For more detail steps, please take a look at the following KB article:
825763 How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825763

Please let me know if you have any further question on the issue. I am
happy to be of assistance to you!

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu
