Dirk, All of our customers and all of our monitored systems (a subset) are Exchange. Mostly 2003 with a few 2000. We migrated the last 5.5 system a few months ago. Not quite sure if/how we would use a MAPI check. We use MAPI and POP in very few environments. Those protocols are not even enabled on our servers. 99% of the machines that connect to the Exchange servers run Outlook and use the native Outlook/Exchange protocols, whatever that is. (some witch's brew of RPC I imagine.)
As for getting it to work, that's up to you, but both Blackberry Enterprise server and Veritas Backup Exec can talk to Exchange mailboxes. Perhaps examining how those apps do it would prove illuminating. I know in each case there is a specific account that you designate for the software to use when connecting to the mailboxes. That account has to have certain rights that are granted to that account during installation/configuration of the application. Hope this helps.

The idea would indeed be to be version (of Exchange) independent. It would be something like the SMTP2POP3 addon except then that it would use MAPI instead of POP3 and optionaly also MAPI instead of SMTP. My first concern is not to get mapi to work, that's the easy part, but to get mapi to work as user_1 while Servers Alive is running as a different users (for example as service using the SYSTEM account) Dirk.

That would be awesome. If it's a mapi check running from SA, it would just be a 'client' to the EX server, so it wouldn't matter what version, etc you are on, right? Would be a great option!! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Posted At: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 2:11 PM Posted To: Servers Alive mailing list Conversation: [SA-list] Exchange as mailserver? Subject: [SA-list] Exchange as mailserver? Hi, Is it correct to assume that a lot of you are using Exchange as mail server? And that a version of SMTP2POP3 that supports MAPI as send/retrieve protocol would be helpful? Dirk. Doesn't Servers Alive deserve the "PEOPLE's CHOICE AWARD."?
