Re: Outgoing POP3 email missing/lost/not received

Marv, If I weren't married I would kiss you!!!!!

Funny thing is that I have had this ISP for 8 years and it has always been
email.acegroup.cc since I set this system up. It just stopped working a week
ago or so. I am going to contact the ISP in the am and see if they changed
that setting on their end or something. I changed it to mail.acegroup.cc and
it all worked.

Weird... but hey, I will take it.. it works!!!

Thanks again, and thanks for being nice. Sometimes MVPs are mean and even
snotty. I use the newsgroups to learn and even help out when I can. Your
help is very appreciated!!!

Route e-mail to the Internet via the following e-mail server
at your ISP: email.acegroup.cc.

Based on info found at:

Ace Internet Esupport
http://esupport.acegroup.cc/settings.shtml

It looks like when you last ran CEICW, you set the ISP's mail server to:
"email.acegroup.cc" and not "mail.acegroup.cc".

This may account for your (sending) email problem.

Re-run CEICW and correct it on the "Email Delivery Method" screen, then
complete CEICW and test outbound email again. (I'm assuming you don't need
a username and password to authenticate to Ace's mail server).

Here is the summary of my settings:

SUMMARY OF SETTINGS FOR CONFIGURE E-MAIL AND INTERNET
CONNECTION WIZARD

This file contains detailed information about the
configurations specified in the Configure E-mail and
Internet Connection Wizard.
The configurations specified in the Configure E-mail and
Internet Connection Wizard determine the settings for your
network, firewall, secure Web site, and e-mail.

NETWORKING CONFIGURATION SUMMARY

After the wizard completes, the following network connection
settings will be configured:
Connection type: broadband connection using a local router
device with an IP address
After the wizard completes, the following broadband
connection settings will be configured:
Router connection information:
Local IP address of the router: 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS server: 204.73.103.12
Alternate DNS server: 209.165.254.12
Connection information for the network adapter used to
connect to your local network:
Local network connection name: Server Local Area
Connection
Local network connection IP address: 192.168.16.2
Local network connection subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
The Default Gateway for the network adapter used to
access the local network is cleared so that network traffic
is routed correctly.
Routing and Remote Access will be configured as follows:
Enable the service as a router for the local area
network to route network traffic to the Internet.
Enable IP routing to route network traffic to the
Internet.
Enable broadcast name resolution.
Enable Basic Firewall on the demand-dial interface.
Disable the option to automatically assign IP
addresses by using the DHCP allocator because DHCP is
provided by your server's DHCP server.
Disable the option to resolve IP address for clients
using DNS because DHCP is provided by your server's DHCP
server.
Disable File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks for
the network adapter or modem used to connect to your ISP.
This reduces the chance of a malicious attack by limiting
the ability to browse the network and to connect to file
shares and network printers.
Unbind remote procedure call (RPC) from the network adapter
or modem used to connect to your ISP. This reduces the
chance of a malicious attack by limiting the ability to
connect to this service.
Bind the DHCP Server service to the IP address of the local
network adapter so that your server's DHCP server does not
provide DHCP addresses to computers on the Internet.
Configure the DHCP scope to assign IP addresses to client
computers using the following scope options:
Set the router option (003) to 192.168.16.2 to
define the default gateway used by client computers.
Set the DNS server option (006) to 192.168.16.2 to
provide client computers with name resolution services for
the local network.
Set the DNS domain name option (015) to GS.local.
Set the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server
option (044) to 192.168.16.2.
Set the WINS node type option (046) to h-node.
Set forwarders to 204.73.103.12 and 209.165.254.12 so that
name resolution requests intended for the Internet are
forwarded to the DNS servers at your ISP.
Set the DNS Server service to listen to the IP address of
the local network adapter to ensure that the DNS server is
not responding to DNS request from the Internet.
Enable dynamic and secured updates to allow client computers
to update DNS, but not allow DHCP to update DNS. This allows
client computers to update the DNS table when they are
turned on.
Modify the binding order so that the local network adapter
has the highest priority to route network traffic to the
Internet.
Set Internet Explorer to never dial a connection, to not use
proxy settings, and set the home page to the address of the
computer running Windows Small Business Server.

FIREWALL CONFIGURATION SUMMARY

After the wizard completes, the following firewall settings
will be configured:

Routing and Remote Access will be configured as follows:

Add the loopback adapter IP address of
127.0.0.1 to support the http://localhost for IIS.

Internet Information Services (IIS) will be configured as
follows:

To only listen on the local network adapter. This
allows Routing and Remote Access to monitor incoming Web
requests from the Internet.

Set the maximum number of incoming Web request
connections allowed to the default Web site to 500. This
improves system availability and reliability by mitigating
denial-of-service attacks against your Web site.



SECURE WEB SITE CONFIGURATION SUMMARY

After the wizard completes, the following secure Web site
settings will be configured:
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) will be configured as follows:
Do not change current Web server certificate

E-MAIL CONFIGURATION SUMMARY

After the wizard completes, the following e-mail settings
will be configured:
Exchange will be configured as follows:
Email: Enable Exchange for Internet e-mail with the
following settings:
E-mail delivery:
Route e-mail to the Internet via the following e-mail server
at your ISP: email.acegroup.cc.
E-mail retrieval:
Use the Microsoft Connector for POP3 Mailboxes to retrieve
e-mail from POP3 mailboxes.
Retrieve e-mail using the Microsoft Connector for POP3
Mailboxes from the following POP3 accounts:
User Mailbox lbenson
User Mailbox mustang
User Mailbox SStensgard
Mail delivery schedule: Deliver mail for Exchange mailboxes
and POP3 mailboxes by using the defined schedule.
Create the SmallBusiness SMTP connector.
Set the SmallBusiness SMTP connector to:
Forward all mail through this connector to the
specified mail server at your ISP (smart host).
Add a local bridgehead server to the name of the
Windows Small Business Server.
Use the address space type of SMTP with an address
of *for the e-mail domain and a cost of 1. This configures
Exchange to send and receive e-mail to any location on the
Internet.
Set the Default SMTP Virtual Server to:
Limit incoming connections to 500. This improves
system availability and reliability by mitigating
denial-of-service attacks against your Exchange.
Limit the number of outbound connections to 10. This
prevents Exchange from excessive usage of network
bandwidth.
Allow clients computers with an IP address within
the range of local IP addresses to relay mail through the
SMTP virtual server, which prevents spam relay.
Allow e-mail relay to local IP addresses and to
client computers that successfully authenticate against the
server.

After the wizard completes, the icwlog.txt in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\Support is
updated.
After the wizard completes, the wizard script file
config.vbs is created in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows
Small Business Server\Networking\Icw.
NOTE: Each time the wizard runs, a new config.vbs file is
automatically generated to preserve the previous settings.
For example config.vbs, config1.vbs, config2.vbs, and so
on.

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.
