Progress Information request

Greg Bohling

I have just installed Project Server 2007 and doing some testing. When I
request Progress Information emails the users never recieve them. I have
configured the email settings for the project server. Is there any logs or
where would the emails be on the project server.

Thanks in advanced

Can you telnet to the email server from the project server ?

From project server command line

telnet "smtp server" 25

You should get a response.

If you don't get a response then this is your problem.

If you do get a response, then make sure the domain specified in PS is
acceptable for relay by the SMTP server.

Yes I can Telnet from PS to my mail server. I have also added my IP for
Relay on Exchange. Any other thoughts. The email configuration looks very
straight forwaard on PS.

Are you using Exchange for email ? If so, enable mail tracking (if it's not
already done), then check the tracking logs to see if the emails are reaching
the server and what their ongoing disposal was.

Your right, there's not to configuring the SMTP side of project server.
Typically mistakes are typo's.

I am having the same issue on 2 Project Servers.
I read on another site that someone ahd resolved this by allowing anonymous
access to the SMTP server.

Is this a requriement?
Doe Project server 2007 use anonymous access to the SMTP server?

FYI:
I can telnet to the SMTP server from the Project servers.
I can send SMTP email from the servers several different ways (vbs,
Sharepoint, SQLMail, etc.)
Anonymous access to the SMTP server is not allowed here.
