Outlook, IIS SMTP, POP3 (argosoft) and MOSS configuration
microsoft.public.deployment.server or microsoft.publc.deployment.desktop
would be better for this type of question. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. ALWAYS post your Outlook version. How to ask a question: http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "chris r" wrote in message ... Hi all - If there's another place to ask this question that you know of please let me know, but I couldn't find a better group, and I also have looked around and experimented for quite a while now for a solution. I have Windows 2008 32-bit and MOSS 2007 in a single virtual machine environment. There is no Exchange (Virtual Server restricts to 32-bit OS), and that would be more than I need at this point anyway. There is no internal POP3 since it is win2008. I have not knowingly set up anything Active Directory, DNS, MX records, etc. I have configured IIS 6.0 virtual server and installed ArGoSoft email software (mail server and .NET freeware versions have the same effect to be described). I need IIS SMTP for MOSS incoming emails. If I don't start argosoft SMTP (by keeping the same port 25 as with IIS SMTP and therefore not allowed), then most email sending/recieving scenarios between Outlook and MOSS do not work correctly. If I change IIS SMTP to another, available, port, then most scenarios work. So this is the configuration: IIS SMTP set to port 251. argosoft SMTP set to port 25, argosoft POP3 set to port 110. IIS and argosoft domains: localhost, moss (machine name), and moss.loc (alias). One user in argosoft and Outlook: . In MOSS I set the email domain to sp.loc. In Outlook I set the incoming and outgoing servers to 127.0.0.1 and it connects with argosoft just fine. If I send an email to from Outlook, I get the email. Good. If MOSS sends an email to (through an alert), I get the in Outlook. Good. If I send an email to (an email address set up in MOSS) from Outlook, I get a bounced email in Outlook ("The following recipient(s) cannot be reached: ' 501 Account does not exist"), and the log file in argosoft says that it can't "resolve MX records for domain sp.loc". Not good. I've tried to include all variations for sp.loc to IIS and argosoft domain lists (including not adding it at all) and nothing seems to change or other errors surface. I've tried many, many other things as well with no luck. I'm sure there's a simple answer here. I'd like argosoft to simply place the email in the drop folder so MOSS can retrieve it. argosoft gets the MOSS-generated email through the drop folder just fine. argosoft seems to hang onto the email rather than placing it in the drop folder and after a number of failed attempts at resolving the mx record issue it found it sends a delivery failure notification email to Outlook. Does anyone know how resolve my issue? I have tried just about everything and I am not an email config wiz. Greatly appreciated in advance! - Chris |
