Guest Wowbagger Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 If a 2003 server is configured using a .local domain is it impossible to enable SMTP services to send emails across the internet?

Not impossible but you would need to have an FQDN on the outside to get something back.
Guest Wowbagger Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Re: SMTP service impossible with .local domain Don't need to get anything back, just need something on this side of the firewall to send out messages from the sharepoint site. What's the trick to configuring it? I've sent out several test messages but they are never delivered and I never get a single error message of any kind.

Guest Jabez Gan [MVP] Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Re: SMTP service impossible with .local domain I suspect it could be a DNS issue. Can you try doing a NSLOOKUP on hotmail.com and see if it resolves? If yes, then try sending to a @hotmail.com account. Also, check if the email got stuck on the SMTP queue. for your scenario (sending out email), I know that is possible since I have implemented that on my client's site. -- Jabez Gan [MVP] http://www.blizhosting.com http://www.msblog.org "Wowbagger" wrote: > Don't need to get anything back, just need something on this side of the > firewall to send out messages from the sharepoint site. > > What's the trick to configuring it?

Guest Wowbagger Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Re: SMTP service impossible with .local domain Looks liek the problem is somewhere other than the local server... emails are getting to the hotmail account but not to my work account. Time to pester the hosting service.
