POP3 Mailbox problems |
|
|
Greetings,
I am having the following difficulties that I could use some help on.
I am running a small home/office system, it consists of 1 Small Business
Server 2003, 2 desktop clients and 1 notebook client (all winxp).
I have set up 7 accounts to the server all with an exchange account. I have
email accounts out on the net on a domain that I own and would like to
retreive that email and forward to the exchange accounts on my server. I
configure the pop3 connector to get that mail, but it appears as though it
does not retreive it or it goes elsewhere I don't know which. At lest it
does not go into exchange mailboxes. I also need to forward all email
generated on my network to a single smtp server on the same domain, I set
this up but it does not work either. I don't know how to resole this
problem, any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
I do need to say this for configuration questions. My system is configured
like this..
SBS connects to Nat/Firewall router (static IP, NIC1), it connects to Local
Network (DHCP, NIC2) all clients connect to a hub on this nic. I can get
web access with no problem, and get pop email outside of exchange with no
problem. Thanks for th help.
Boris

Note that the POP connector in SBS (actually, the same is true for pretty
much any of them) can be troublesome. Why not ditch POP and host your own
mail? You can do this even with a dynamic IP... see
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF002.html for info, but in SBS2003
you're better off configuring this with the wizards.
If you want to use the SBS POP connector, post in m.p.windows.server.sbs as
it isn't part of Exchange.

What do you mean by forward, and "smtp server on the same domain" ? Can you
elaborate on what you wish to do? Do you mean, you want all Internet mail to
be sent out via a smarthost/ISP's SMTP server?

Exactly, all my network mail to an internet domain.

Set up an SMTP connector, keep the address space as *, and set it to deliver
to your ISP's SMTP server as a smarthost. Don't select "allow relay to these
domains" whatever you do! |
