How to setup and enable outbound email with Windows Server 2003

[Guest Jack]

ok call me stupid, but I need some pointers ; just installed email

services (SMPT) and setup a remote domain..how the heck does one go

about testing ability to send a simple outbound mail and what are the

execution steps ? Have no idea where to start. I am running windows

server 2003 enterprise under Computer Management, IIS, you can see

that SMTP was installed - it says "default virtual SMTP Server and

underneath it

says "domains" and also "Current sessions". Thats all thats happened.

The only think I want to do is be able to send outbound emails now,

and havent a clue how to enable this. Looking for a step by step list

if possible.

 

Also, I tried this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323350 and get

this error:

 

220 springserver1 Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version:

6.0.3790.1830

ready at

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 22:09:24 -0800

helo me

250 springserver1 Hello [192.168.1.10]

250 2.1.0 t...@mytestserverserver1.com....Sender OK

rcpt to:jack_posem...@yahoo.com

550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for jack_posem...@yahoo.com

 

Thank you,

Hey Jack,

 

Have you enabled relay in the SMTP settings?

 

Alternatively, you can setup Outlook Express, and use "localhost" as the

SMTP server and see if emailing works.

I take it you run exchange. When you right click on s

SMTP do you see the the delivery tab? How is it setup Route to smarthost?

DNS?

INFO PLEASE?

Can you receive mail? DNS settings? Can you ping the net?

Hi, tied to use Outlook Express as indicated above and get this error:

 

The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was

rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was

'bg24@gmail.com'. Subject 'test', Account: 'testaccount', Server:

'localhost', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 5.7.1 Unable to

relay for bg24r@gmail.com', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error:

550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

 

How do I setup relay ? What are the specific steps to setting up

email ?

 

Yes I can ping the net.

 

Thanks,

Jack

Re: How to setup and enable outbound email with Windows Server 2003

 

Hey Jack,

 

In IIS Manager, right click SMTP Virtual server, and select properties.

 

Select Access tab -> Relay button.

 

If the list is empty, select "All except the list below" (depending on your

network configuration).

 

let me know if this works!

Ok thank you for some direction - I didnt fail this time in telnet and

get to the point below, but I dont see it in my inetpub/mailroot/drop

folder - fundamentally where is this file queued, and how can I send

it since it never arrived to the destination ? What are the steps to

just being able to send an email after a vanilla install of SMTP and

setup of Relay with Windows Server 2003 ? Surprised how hard this is.

 

Telnet session:

Data

354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>

Subject: Testemail

 

Test body content

..

250 2.6.0 <SPRINGSERVER1XOF9Aw00000001@springserver1> Queued mail for

delivery

 

Thank you,

Jack

Re: How to setup and enable outbound email with Windows Server 2003

 

Are you using Exchange? It seems like you are...

 

Just open up Exchange and do a search for the queue mails. To do this:

1. Open up System manager

2. Servers -> [Your server name] -> Queue

3. Click Find Messages

 

Cross posting to Exchange NG.

Hi NO I am not using exchange - windows server 2003 with email

installed - there is no Exchange from the "Start, Programs" menu - I

installed email services (SMTP) - how do I setup send and receive

email after this - command line is ok and preferable for this also -

this is a basic question !! Does anyone out there know how to set

this up ?

 

thanks

Hi All !! so I followed the below, and the emails are ending up in

the BADMAIL folder after placed in PICKUP folder.. the email is

properly formatted - does anyone know why it may be failing ?

 

"The easiest way to send an e-mail message without a client is to drop

a properly formatted text file into the Pickup directory on the

server. RFC 822 defines the formatting standards for ARPA Internet

text messages. Following the guidelines in RFC 822 you can easily

create text files, that when copied into the Pickup directory, will be

delivered to the specified mailbox.

 

When you install the SMTP service on a Windows 2000 or 2003 server a

directory called Pickup is created under C:\Inetpub\Mailroot. Let's

look at an example.

Hi Fred,

 

Are you interested in bowling tonight?

Saving that text to a file and copying it to the Pickup folder would

send that e-mail message to Fred "
