Exchange 5 Can't send mail

R

Rick

It all worked so good, I don't think I changed anything... now for
some reason it does not

NT4
Exchange 5
Mac OS X 10.3.1
Entourage 10.1.5
imap account, no smtp (using exchanges)

I can receive mail but not send it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Rick!

SMTP is still a requirement for sending mail from this version of Entourage.
I would assume this was just a workaround on Microsoft's part to quickly
provide a Mac OS X Exchange client until a better implementation of
Entourage is made available.

Alternatively, if you don't want to enable an SMTP client on your server,
you can enable the mail services provided with Mac OS X and enable each
client to be its own SMTP server. For a corporate solution, this would be
poor choice, but if you don't have any alternatives it may be your only
choice if you must use Entourage.

Outlook 2001 in Classic mode works for our company and is stable. It offers
more features used in a corporate environment than Entourage currently
offers. Classic mode is not necessarily evil or more memory intensive and
it's there just for this reason ‹ to allow you to continue to operate as you
could in Mac OS 9.

This white paper on Microsoft's website may help you if you haven't read it

Hope this helps! bill

There are two apps that help you configuring the Mac in this regard:
Sendmail enabler (for MacOS 10.2)
http://www.roadstead.com/weblog/Tutorials/SMSource.html

Postfix enabler (for MacOS 10.3)
http://www.roadstead.com/weblog/Tutorials/PostfixEnabler.html


These are both shareware. You can also do it manually, (free ;-))) ) but
it requires more knowledge and and some folling around with the
Terminal. It's "doable" for Postfix (MacOS X 10.3) and a lot more
complex with Sendmail.

No matter what, it requires that port 25 be open on the network (it's
usually the case).
