Re: SBS2K3 Sharepoint - Cant email users or get alerts to send

Dan,

That's a potential firewall issue. Do you have any other problems with the mail server? You should be able to telnet to Exchange from within your network

The settings are correct. when i telnet to the box i get a blinking cursor.
when i press any key i get the following comment "connection to host lost".

You shouldn't have to do anything specially on SBS to have emails work with
the 'companyweb' site, other than setting up the name of the server. One
more area to look is under 'Virtual Server Configuration' | 'Configure
virtual server settings' | 'companyweb' | 'Virtual Server email settings' to
makes sure that the entries are correct.

As far as telnet to the server did you try to run 'open
servername.domain.local 25' and you didn't get response?
