[Modus] SMTPDS Service wont start

[Suneel Jhangiani]

Title: Message

I don’t believe Windows 2003 installs any unnecessary services by default (“Trustworthy Computing”).   However, the original poster mentions DNS, and should check through the servers Network Settings carefully as Modus will pick up the default details from them.   ----- I'd like to see a nature film where an eagle swoops down and pulls a fish out of a lake, and then maybe he's flying along, low to the ground, and the fish pulls a worm out of the ground. Now that's a documentary.  (--------------------------------)         {(((((((     Suneel Jhangiani           )        /_  _  )(    Technical Director          )       ( .  .   )( Inter-Computer Technology Ltd. )        ( /   )(----------------------------------oOOo------------oOOo----)( 40 James Street                Tel: +44 (0) 20 7486 9601 ) ( London W1U 1EU                 Fax: +44 (0) 7050 678 978 )( United Kingdom               Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     )(             Website: http://www.inctech.com              ) (----------------------------------------------------------) From: Kais Al-Essa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 December 2003 08:07 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] SMTPDS Service wont start   Hello,   I think this has to do with the Microsoft built in SMTP service which loads automatically with Windows 2003 Server. Check it out and you will have to disable it if it exists in order to get Modus to run properly.   Regards.. --- Kais Al-Essa, Operations & Technical Services Manager SAHARA NETWORK, Dammam, Saudi Arabia - http://www.sahara.net.sa/  http://www.sahara.com/ - Tel: +(9663) 832 2299 - Fax: 834 5652   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt O'Meara Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 10:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] SMTPDS Service wont start Hey guys, I have just built a standalone windows 2003 server and installed Modus on it. However I am getting an error when the SMTPDS Service tries to start. I suspect this has something to do with the DSN settings on the server. I have tried setting the primary dns server to our in house office server to no avail. Has anyone experienced the same thing?   Regards Matt O'Meara Network/Systems Engineer & Web Developer IT Universe ACN 086 150 594 Level 5, 530 Collins St Melbourne Vic 3000 Fax. 9620 1308 Mobile: 0411 67 67 52 www.itu.com.au Support Tel: 1300 886 228 Support Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain information that is confidential and is subject to legal privilege.
