POP3 headaches |
|
|
Trying to sort through the mess of getting an SBS 2003 box running smoothly.
Thankfully, Microsoft sent plenty of documentation to help me through the
process--especially for the bundled programs! Right...
Well, I'm trying to get Exchange running smoothly. I have several users
that must access their accounts directly and others that must access through
POP3. I have everyone accessing directly up and running smoothly. However,
getting the POP3 and SMTP servers running has been a royal pain in my neck
from Day 1. I went back to square one, and have the Default POP3 Virtual
Server set up with these properties:
-General
-IP address: (All Unassigned)
-Advanced: (Default settings)
-Limit number of connections to: (Unchecked)
-Connection time-out (minutes): (10)
-Access
-Authentication
-Basic auth. (password is sent in clear text) (Checked)
-Requires SSL/TLS encryption (Unchecked)
-SASL (Checked)
-Certificate (Not configured)
-Connection Control
-All except list selected with and empty list
-Message Format (N/A)
-Calendaring (N/A)
The Microsoft Exchange POP3 service is started (automatic). I know users
are getting a response from the server when they try to initiate a POP3
session. When I stop the POP3 service, they get no response / timeout
errors. When the POP3 service is started, every attempt to initiate a
session results in unknown user or bad password errors. Every user has
everything enabled under Exchange Features in their profile(s) (including
POP3). The settings on each client machine (using Outlook for testing
purposes) are:
-User Name / Password:
-I have tried this a million ways: DOMAIN/USER, DOMAIN.local/USER,
USER@DOMAIN, USER@DOMAIN.COM, USER@DOMAIN.local...you name it, I've tried it.
-Log on using Secure Password Authentication (Tried both ways...unchecked
now.)
-More Settings
-Advanced
-Using all default pors, etc.
Can someone please help? This is driving me nuts!! Thank you in advance.
