Re: SBS 2003 new cannot send email

If your ISP is Bellsouth then your outbound telnet test on port 25 needs to be to another mailserver. The test will pass to Bellsouth internal but will fail to other servers. Bellsouth blocks port 25 unless you have commercial service. If you want to use residential service on Bellsouth you will need to use a Smarthost on another port than 25. I use Dyndns.com on port 2525 for that purpose. Their service is inexpensive and reliable.

Kinda confused on this one. Brand new SBS2003 install cannot email out
at all via Exchange. Have changed the Connector to deliver first with
mail.bellsouth.net the when that failed allowing the server to deliver
with DNS but neither work. Of course have run the IECEW .

CAN however email out with Outlook Express on the server using
mail.bellsouth.net unauthenticated, and also authenticated (with
incorrect password, just to see if they care. They don't care).

Have enabled logging for the SMTP However, does not create the
SMTPSVC logfile folder in C:\WINDOWS\System32\LogFiles. Almost like
the SMTP service is not installed?? I THINK THIS MIGHT BE A HINT?

Can telnet on port 25 to mail.bellsouth.net so I know I am getting
there. Obviously since the server can use MSIMN.exe to email out
either unauth or auth.

Any ideas? This server has never worked to send email (I mentioned it
is brand new). It does deliver internally, just not out to the
internet.

Have run the ICEW or whatever, twice.

Can telnet on port 25 to mail.bellsouth.net so I know I am getting
there. Obviously since the server can use MSIMN.exe to email out
either unauth or auth. But the messages just sit in the queue until
they time out ( have set timeouts to 3 minutes so I don't have to wait
too long..)

I have racked my brain on this one. any ideas? Thanks in advance
