Relaying off of local maching

B

Brian

I am currently setup at work to send through the Exchange Server. The
Exchange Server is Version 5.5. I have read many postings that have
stated that only the email is working on this version, even though it
is not supported. I have also seen many postings where people are
having problems with relaying. The responses have been to set the
SMTP Server as "localhost". I have tried this and am getting an error
-3260 Connection Failure. I have also tried inserting the IP Address
that was assigned to my computer. I continue to receive the same
message. Is there anything else that I can do? My contacts will NOT
sync with the Exchange Server, so I am at a loss.

Here is what I know about this issue:

Mail requires IMAP. Since Exch 5.5 can support that, you can get mail

Synching the address book, public folder or calendar requires OWA
(webmail) and you can't have that on Exch 5.5 so for these features you
are out of luck

Global address book: There is some support for that in Entoruage. It
goes through LDAP so as long as you have LDAP active, you should be able
to get it.

Now for your relaying issues, it should be up to the administrator to
make sure you can send your e-mails.
If ever you have problems that the admin cannot (won't) fix, and if port
25 is open on your network (it is usually the case), you can use your
own Mac as an SMTP server through Sendmail in MacOS X 10.2 and Postfix
(much easier to setup) in MacOS X 10.3.
