Re: OT SBS 2K

Brian,

the POP3 & SMTP details get entered as follows.

In Exhange 'System Manager' goto to Connections

For POP3
Right-click the 'Connector for POP3' and choose properties
Here you have areas for setting the schedule and adding global/specific
users
It is when adding a global/user mailbox that you get the field 'Mail
Server'
This is where you enter the POP3 server name.
Notes: some isps need the login name to be the full e-mail address
Connector for POP3 only works with lowercase passwords
It may have the same bug as SBS4.5 where it throws away all mail for
some
individuals (even if you completely delete them from the system and
recreate
them).
Dont ask me why, never been able to get an explanation out of MS. In
this
case the solution is to set them up as a global.

For SMTP
Right-click the 'SMTP Connector' and choose properties
Under the general tab select ' Forward all mail thru this ...' and enter
the
SMTP server
Should have a local bridgehead set, which is your local server name
Under advanced select 'do NOT send etrn/turn'
I normally add an address space of SMPT * 1

Even with everything correctly set in Exchange the POP3 often doesnt
work
because the sbsb2k installation often forgets to add the necessary
filters
to the ISA server (new name for Proxy server).
In 'ISA manager' goto
ISA Servers/Servers & Arrays/<server name>/Access policy/IP
packet filters
You should have Backoffice POP3 110 out custom filter
Backoffice POP3 PredefinedType
Backoffice SMTP 25 out custom filter
Backoffice SMTP Predefinedtype
Off the top of my head I think it is the custom filters that are often
missing
If so, for POP3 add: enable/TCP/6/Outbound/All Ports/Fixed/110 (local =
default ip, remote = all)
for SMTP add enable/TCP/6/outbound/All ports/Fixed/25 (local = default
ip,
remote = all)

Also, check Routing under ISA Servers/Servers & Arrays/<server
name>/Network
configuration
If it is an ISA problem, you could prove it by allowing all traffic thru
ISA

If you are using a router/cable modem, rather than a modem on the
server
then can you browse the web from the server?
Really in this configuration ISA shouldnt be running, and the server
network
settings should be using the router as the default gateway.

If you have a problem just connecting an outlook client to the exchange
server (and assuming the client pc is set to use the router as the
default
gateway) you can have problems connecting the client to server if the
line
is down/faulty.

If the router has DHCP enabled, you must disable DHCP on the server - fix
an
IP address in the routers range - and reconfigure all aspects of the
servers
systems(e.g. routing tables & even settings in the fax server) to match
the
ip address and range (mask).

Hope this gets you started.
