Re: SMTP POP3 Server

You are a star.

It needed FQDN in the account settings of outllok / OE.


Many thanks

I have made some progress:


1. Telnet works fine. I can send the test message with no problems.

2. I sorted out the stating of the POP3 server and IMAP server in SBS.
The serverices were set as disabled. reset to automatic and all is fine.

3. I decided to try outlook express. Set up account ok and can read
IMAP folders ok.

4. STILL CANT send any e-mail from either Outlook or Outllok Express.
It just sits in the outbox.

I can find no error messages anywhere. Nothing in the event logs of
either the workstation or server.

I feel sure I''ve missed someting easy but what?


It's always easy once you know what it is.

From what you say, it should Just Work (TM).

You can telnet in, and presumably a real user on Exchange receives the
test. That should rule out any filtering done by SBS, leaving the
question of why Outlook/OE is not able to do this.

There are fairly extensive SMTP diagnostics available on SBS, but it
does not seem likely that they will help in this case. For future
reference, you can look at the SBS end of the SMTP negotiations.

Does the Message Tracking tool (Server Admin, Advanced, Exchange, Tools)
show any sign of receipt of the message? Does it show the telnetted
test message?

Try some variations in the SMTP configuration of Outlook/OE. Try
entering the SMTP server by its LAN IP address, try the LAN FQDN.
It does seem likely that the problem is around there somewhere.
