some are especially based upon the reply-to or the from field, and have 
to be registered e-mail address within the server (preventing spam 
relay),etc...

Three things you should do :
1. using a sniffer (look for Ethereal) check for what is sent through 
the smtp protocol to the Exchange server using Outlook Express. That 
way, you'll be able to see if there're special headers that are sent.

2. Check for the Phoenix source code and see if there's any "workaround" 
when connecting to Microsoft application

3. Do the same as in 1. but using Phoenix. And then compare the 
differences (or not) between 1. and 3. and then do the same with your 
own application.

No need. I think this is mainly due to some protocol requirements, not 
smtp or thing like that.

have you checked if, for sending outgoing mails, user have to be 
registrated/logged to the exchange server, then getting some kind of a 
sessionID that might be used within the mail headers ?

Another thing to do is to use the telnet application and simulate a SMTP 
connection and see what's going on...
(FYI : telnet  )

HTH,

Best regards,

Re: [twsocket] [tsyncsmtpcli] Problem sending email to Exchange2000server

2005-10-05 Thread Pete Williams
Just a recap on this one: more info now.

We have an ICS-based email app that is having difficulty sending
messages to Exchange 2000 server. Specifically, we can send internal
emails but not emails that would need to be sent over the internet. No
error is reported by ICS, the email just disappears.

Outlook Express works and can send external emails. *Also, Phoenix
(which is an open source application and nothing to do with OE) can
also send external emails*.

So this seems to be a problem with ICS. One thing which may/may no be
significant: our app just sends emails using SMTP. It doesn't read
them via POP3 like Phoenix.

The mail server is on a customer site, so we don't have direct access
to it.

We are at a loss at the moment. Does anyone have any idea what could
be causing this?

Regards, Pete

Hi

We get that too from our customers. Outlook Express and Outlook are
quite different. We are using OE as the tester.

I'll second that!

Our client is not using SMTP authentication, but neither is OE.

I'm going to give SocketSpy a try to see what could be up.

Thanks to everyone for their help.

Are you absolutely sure?  We get customers emailing us all the time saying 
"Outlook works fine, but your [SMTP based program] won't send emails 
outside of our domain!"  It's always that Outlook is connecting to the 
server using IMAP and the settings on the server are set to allow those 
emails to "relay" or whatever.  I would double- and triple-check the 
settings on Exchange to make sure that emails coming in over SMTP can send 
out to the internet.  Exchange is a beast with way to many stupid settings.

The only other thing I can think of still has to do with the server side: 
see if there's some settings in Exchange that limit who can relay emails 
based on what type of authentication they use to access the server.  Maybe 
Outlook is using one type of authentication while your SMTP client is using 
a less secure method (or no authentication at all).

I hope this helps,
Jake
