Re: SBS 2008 POP on IPv4 Redirects to SMTP

It works here:
C:\>telnet remote.laytonflower.com 110
+OK The Microsoft Exchange POP3 service is ready.
Double-check the instructions in the link Merv posted. Exchange 2007 changed some stuff from earlier versions - including authentication requirements (Secure TLS authentication is required by default for IMAP & POP connections in Exch 2007).
However I cannot reproduce what you are seeing - I've tried my server and two different SBS 2008 installations for clients. I start the Exchange POP service on each machine, and from the servers themselves and LAN clients I can telnet in to port 110 using the IPv4 address of the server and connect to the POP service on each machine . . .
FWIW - for the random Blackberry here and there, I use IMAP instead of POP - that way all of the mail stays on the server instead of downloading to the phone

Thanks Chris - after having worked on SBS since 4.5 with several dozen
implementations under my belt I'm well aware of the options and
functionality of SBS. So I guess a better answer for your better
question would be "Blackberry," which is easier to implement in 1 or 2
person installations using plain and simple POP3 since they were
natively designed to do that. Any other method of access from a
Blackberry is kludgy at best. But whether it is better or not, the
functionality was provided with the OS and it doesn't work so there's
the old adage that it was paid for so it ought to work... I have a
couple of other clients running SBS 2003 that for one reason or
another require POP access to email so the other alternatives aren't
always the answer.
BTW - to Marv, Chris and Susan, thanks for taking the time to read and
reply.
Here's a question, does anyone have an SBS 2008 box in a lab
environment that you could use to enable POP3 following the
instructions in the link provided by Merv and then telnet to it by IP
address on port 110 to see what you get? None of our test gear meets
the requirements to install SBS 2008 so we don't have the ability yet
to do lab testing.
