strange problem |
|
|
Hi All,
I am having a problem emailing from my outlook clients. I will describe my
setup and then my problem. I have outlook 2000 clients that connect to an
exchange server. These same clients also have an internet email service
setup to go and get their own email from the pop3 account on the internet.
Previously we would pick up our email from the ISP, but always send using
the exchange server because I had setup a smarthost to redirect to. We have
recently changed our ISP and we have been told we cannot use the exchange
server. so I changed the outgoing mail server on the internet email service
and tried to get this to work but the emails continue to send through the
exchange server (which now just ques the messages but they go nowhere). I
tried flushing the dns on the local machine, dropping the connection and
restarting it, renewing my ip address via dhcp, setting the delivery order
in the services window, deleting the profile and remaking it, reconfiguring
mail support (which worked but we need exchange) and changing it back,
adding an entry in the hosts file for the mail server but all of this to no
avail. The mail is always sent to the exchange server. The most
frustrating thing of all is that one of the clients actully does work but
the settings for this computer are exactly the same as all the other
machines in the office.
Does anyone have any ideas about this or does anyone have this same sort of
setup. Basically what I would like to do now is recieve and send via the
internet and use exchange as a storage box.
Any help or even ideas at this point would be great.
Thanks

Note that mixing Internet Mail & Exchange in the same profile isn't
supported in OL2000 (only 2002 and up). You will invariably have problems
with this. Even in newer versions, I don't recommend mixing account types.
It's much better to let Exchange handle all your mail (I presume you have a
registered Internet domain, or can get one). this is also superior in terms
of speed of delivery, centralizing antivirus scanning, using OWA, etc.
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF002.html explains how to do this in
Exchange 2000 but also applies to 2003.

What exactly does that mean? If you mean you can't use them as a smarthost,
but need to use a smarthost, look into other options - for example, MailHop
Outbound at www.dyndns.org (a minimal annual fee).

You will always have problems with this configuration and I strongly suggest
you avoid it. See above.
