SMTP problem in Window 2003 Web Edition

[Guest je@vorchester.com]

I hope someone can help. I have Windows 2003 Web Edition, with POP3

and SMTP installed. I have the server configured with

 

SMTP - Authentication

Allow Annonamous Access

Integrated Windows Authentication

SMTP - Relay

Only the list below (list is blank) (I have tried adding local IP,

didn't work so I put it back)

Allow all computers which successfully authenticate is checked

 

 

I also have require SPA enabled. (previously it was disabled, no

change)

 

 

I seem to be able to receive mail fine so pop3 is fine, but when I

send I receive back an email with an attachment that says "Helo

command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname".

 

 

I am using Outlook Express as the email client.

I have configured it every different way I can think of, currently it

is:

 

 

The public domain is the email server (I have tried using the local

server name, since I am on the same network, didn't work)

 

 

Log on using Secure Password Authentication is check (to match the

server, I have had it unchecked to match the server previously,

didn't

work)

 

 

My server requires authentication is checked.

 

 

This has been a real hair puller. Hope someone can help, it's

driving

me nuts. Thanks for your help

Hello,

 

I had a similar problem on Windows 2003 Standard Edition using the SMTP

virtual server. I rectified it by issuing a FQDN on the SMTP side this can be

done by:

 

* IIS>SMTP Virtual Server>Properties>Delivery>Advanced>Advanced Delivery>

Type in the FQDN.

 

See if that helps; alternatively have a peak at this MS support page.

You shouldn't have any options in there for relaying though.

 

Hope it helps.

Yeah, the issue is a problem with the lookup of the FQDN. This means that

either there was a typo or omission in the setup or that DNS is not working

as expected.

 

I would take a look at these as a starting point.
