Hi,
I would like to set up MOSS 2007 to use document libraries that allow an
email with an attachment sent to the library. All of the documentation I
have read so far says to install the SMTP service on the MOSS application
server, however the documentation then goes on to mention that this is not
required if you already have an exchange server available. Although the
documentation says that its possible to use exchange server as the smpt
service, it doesnâ??t say how to set it up.
As I understood this, in Sharepoint Portal Server 2003, to have an email
integrated document library, you needed to set up a public folder that could
receive email, and then Sharepoint would periodically go out and retrieve any
mail items in that public folder. In exchange 2007 is this still the
preferred method of integrating email with document libraries? I thought
that Microsoft was trying to get away from using public folders for processes
such as this? Can any one point me to a step by step document that outlines
how to use exchange 2007 as the smtp service for email enabled document
libraries in MOSS 2007?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
