Re: Exchange not retrieving email (POP3 Connector)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi Sue
It looks to be working! Seems as though the last email I sent to my ISP did
the trick and they kicked their server to make it play nice.

I do have a few hundred emails (by the look of it in the SystemMailbox),
however I'm not sure what/how I need to deal with them?
By SystemMailbox I'm presuming this is the GlobalMailbox.

Kind regards
Troy

There is no requirement to use POP3 as per ISP ..you can use smtp..but I
digress... did you run the connect to internet wizard when you set up the
global mailbox?

Hi all

Fairly new to SBS2003 and Exchange but have used Win2003Server quite a
bit.

I'm using the latest service packs for the apps and OS

I'm using POP3 as per ISP requirements. I'm using a Global Mailbox to
retrieve emails for distribution to users. I'm able to send out email. In
the event logs it says that all is funcitoning fine and able to connect to
ISP servers etc but it seems as though there is no emails.
The ISP suggests that all is good their end but I'm not seeing any emails
to any of our user mailboxes.

I'm able to email internally from warranty to sales for instance.
I'm able to send email to external users (eg my gmail account).
Firewalls don't seem to be an issue with blocking as the events show all
is connecting.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could be the problem??

I would really appreciate someone knowledgeable telling what I've done
wrong. Could it be DNS??

Thanks in anticipation...

Kind regards
Troy
