Hi, my company set their server up not to talk SMTP (disabled all --> that guy told me), and my tries to connect or talk to any of their Exchange servers failed :( so he must be true. Got onto their NT servers though ;) All the company uses Outlook & Exchange, & they use mapi to talk to each other. If a manager can`t be in the network, he`s connected via VPN & uses Outlook as well. They`ve got a trust relationship between their NT servers & the Exchange ones, & lots of domains joined. As I said, I don`t have a clue of Exchange so correct me if something sounds strange. To your suggestions: of course that would be easy for me to tell them to set up a new box for me. They`ll do that. But who likes the easy way ;)? No, just my curiosity, maybe someone knows how the protocol or whatever these M$ servers use is working & I could try to implement that. Would make my project more portable inside the company (They plan to use it on other sites as well), so they wouldn`t have problems with setting up separate Internal Mailsweepers everytime :).
Can you tellme more about : > You'd be fine using SMTP on a connector server. It > will relay the > mail to the appropriate mailbox server is that working even if SMTP is not enabled? The guy told me that SMTP is not enabled by default on Exchange servers and they didn`t change that! (that`s the reason for me to ask how that system works in the whole....how does outlook send the mail to the exchange server? Could it be that all the users just access something like a directory on the exchange server when starting their outlook (not a local program! & not working when the exchange server crashed ;)). Maybe that`s the LDAP part? Anyone enlighten me please...... by the way, a lot of people ask these questions.... see here http://www.phpbuilder.com/mail/php3-list/199908/0344.php http://www.linuxsa.org.au/mailing-list/2000-07/954.html http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/13043/fid/21 > > I can't comment on how your company's Exchange > servers are > configured, but they absolutely *can* talk SMTP.
