Re: Outgoing POP3 email missing/lost/not received

Just trying to understand your setup and problem.

OK, so Exchange is being used for internal mail only and you have the POP3
Connector set up to periodically retrieve mail from ISP. Inbound mail is
working fine, right? Mail sent to people "internally" also works OK, right?

Now, the problem is that mail sent from internal staff to external people
(whether your offsite staff or any other offsite recipient) is not delivered
to them, right?

And you've found no events in the either the Application or Event logs on
the SBS server?
And you don't have an external domain name (like mycompany.com), right?
And you haven't changed the authentication username or password that you
need to send mail through your ISP's mail server, right?

can you clarify where i check to see if the store is mounted? If I look
in
the exchange system manager the store is there, and there is no red x on
it

What do you mean "The POP3 email connector is only used for a few people
that use only the web based email and do not have their own computer to
use." ?

IF YOU MUST use POP Mail from the ISP ( and you'd need an extremely good
reason for me to consider it valid )
....why are you not picking up ALL the company's mail from the ISP via
the
POP Connector and forwarding it to the mailboxes, then, if again you have
an
extremely valid reason for NOT sending mail via DNS, sending via the ISP
as
Smarthost ?

The POP Connector was and is only meant as an interim solution for people
transitioning from Peer-2-Peer and POP3 to AD Domain and Exchange while
they
get their, Static IP, Domain Name and MX in place. Not as a permanent
solution.

re "The error number is 0x8004011d. Make sure Microsoft Exchange Store is
running".
Is the Exchange Store Mounted ?

Yes, this is SBS 2003. I have exhange running for internal email but
management have internet email addresses through the local ISP as well
as
their exchange account. The POP3 email connetor is only used for a few
people that use only the web based email and do not have their own
computer
to use.

This is a new problem. I did have a problem last week with my
workstations
using offline address books which were not getting updated. I had went
through many suggestions and may have changed a setting on my server
that
made this happen.

Port 25 is open, and everything else is working fine.

My event log does show this error "Error initializing session for
virtual
machine SERVER. The error number is 0x8004011d. Make sure Microsoft
Exchange
Store is running.

I have rebooted the server, and all exchange services appear to be
running.

Sally, is this an SBS Server you have there or are users just using
POP
Mail
?

if the latter please re-post to the correct Newsgroup. Probably
Microsoft.public.outlook or Microsoft.public.outlook.general
With details of your setup and version of Outlook.

If it's via an SBS Box, then can you better describe your setup and
explain
why you aren't using Exchange DNS to send mail ?
