Nope - no PIX. Just a Netgear box. All other aspects of it are working fine. SMTP, etc.....

You don't happen to have a PIX Firewall do you? If so, turn off fixup protocol smtp 25. fixup only allows the original RFC commands for SMTP, not the ESMTP commands which are requires to AUTH, which is required to send mail through your server by default. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pat Richard Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 1:02 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Can't authenticate when connecting via POP3 Greets - I'm just testing theory, really... Environment: - Exchange 2003 SP1 on Windows Server 2003 SP1 behind a firewall. - server is in a single domain forest with just one other server. This server holds all fsmo roles. - server is called "pdc" (pdc.domain.local) - there is another Exchange box in the Admin Group, but it holds no mailboxes. It's just for testing as well. - port 110 is forwarded to the server - POP3 service is running - POP3 virtual server is active - user account ("test") has POP3 access enabled - I can connect when telnetting over port 110 Problem: - From outside the environment, I setup Outlook 2003 to connect via POP3 to the office.domain.com address that I have pointing to the firewalls public IP. - if I click to test the configuration, everything is completed OK except I get prompted for the password again. - I am attempting to connect as "test", and have tried "domain/test", "domain.local/test" and even "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", but I get the same response - just prompted again for the password. - I've verified that the password is correct. - no signs of issues in the event logs. I've looked around to find any information on what to check, but everything is coming up ok. What am I missing? Note - No need to recommend other methods (RPC over HTTP, OWA, etc). I'm just testing this process for the heck of it. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
