Hi,

Ok, sent a test mail. Your email server should be receiving mails.

Like i said, Try to connect directly to the pop3 account through OE. You
should see a mail from me there.

If not, then the problem is with your hosting provider.

If so, then the problem is with SBS/Pop3 Connector. If you could check this
for me it shows where we can begin troubleshooting.

Matt

Hi,

If you cannot see any emails within telnet then it means that there are
no
emails in the mailbox. The reason i suggested accessing in OE was to see
if
there actually were any mails on the server.

If there are no mails on the server then its worth checking your MX
records.

What is your email domain. I can then send some test messages to see what
happens?

Hi,

Can you check the eventlog to see if there are any problems in there
and
post what they are?

Can you access the POP3 account directly from outlook Express?

regards,

Matt

I have been informed by my client that they cannot receive external
pop3 email.

They can send out to recipients, but not receive a reply.

They only have 5 users and have an external company provide their
website and email. I have contacted the external company who inform
me there are no issues.

I have checked the following

Server Management

Internet and Email

Connect to the internet

Left all the other settings as they were

Enable Internet Email

Use DNS to route e-mail

Use the Microsoft connection for POP3 Mailbox

Email domain name xxxxxxxx.com

Pop3 mailbox

mail.xxxxxxxx.com
Port 110
user name - correct
passwords - correct
sending to correct Exchange mailboxes

Enable exchange to remove attachment.

I have also tried disabling the firewall but no difference.

The server has 2 NIC's

Any ideas?

Trevor

I have used the following command to check the account

Telnet mail.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com 110

user (username)
pass (password)
stat
OK 0 0

The server is only checking the for emails every 15 minutes but if I
send and email in between the checking times I still get no emails
when I use Telnet.

Trevor

I have sent several messages to the users at the company, but also CC
them to my personal email. I receive them but they do not.

The email domain in bancummsurfacing.com you could try sending it to
i...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have no dealings with MX records as this is all done by our email
hosting company.

I have set up Outlook express on the INFO account and checked for
messages, none are in the inbox.

However, I see you replied at 15:50, and I did not check until 16:10.
Could the server have done its 15 minute check at 16:00 and taken the
mail?

I have changed the retrieve setting on the POP3 account so it checks
every 2 hours. I then sent a message to the INFO account. With my
own address on the CC. I received the email but the INFO account has
not.

Hope this helps.

Trevor
