I am using SBS2K on a 7 node network. Siince our ISP or
web/e-mail host doesn't provide MX records, plus the fact
that we can't get any faster than 128K ISDN, I am trying
to bypass exchange and use a 3rd party mail server program
called workgroup mail pro. I have it set up correctly, but
2 of the client PC's can send and recieve internal and
external mail just fine, but the five others cannot. I am
using OE on 6 of them and Outlook 2K on the other. All
have the same settings and the same software installed.
There aren't any error messages, it seems to conect to the
servers just fine, its just not pulling any e-mail from
the ISP's servers.
My server is assigned a static IP but its a DHCP server. I
have the server's IP address listed in the POP3 and SMTP
address box as the instructions say. I have ISA firewall
disabled on all clients, exchange is pretty much disabled.
Is using the proxy server for the Internet the problem,
going through port 8080? is their a config problem with
ISA?
I'm clueless about this stuff.
Thanks in adv.
Dave
BTW I will pay someone in the Dallas area with extensive
SBS knowledge to "check my work". This is my first SBS
install and I have been pulling my hair out. And my client
isn't too thrilled either. Contact at
