HI,

This is quite a good artical about the POP3 connector and setup on SBS20008

Can you telnet onto the server on port 25? and can this be done both internaly and externaly?

Did you change the servers IP address, and is the port forwarding on your router still correct?

Also have you added the domain to the accepted domain list?


Exchange Management Console (2007) -> Organisation configuration -> Hub transport -> Accepted Domains -> Added new excepted domain -> External Relay domain -> added the required "domain.com" appropriately.

Same problem. I'm able to telnet inside and out. i get the error meesage (An error occurred while delivering mail to 'jixx@jxxxxxods.com' on the SMTP server 'localhost'. The error code was 0x800ccc6c. Verify that the mailbox exists and that the Exchange receive connectors are configured properly.

Not sure what can be wrong with my receive connector.

I went ahead and followed the steps below to troubleshot pop3 connector issues:

1. Telnet to localhost 25 - Came back with 220 message (Good)
2. Telnet to localhost 110 - Came back OK, then (-ERR Protocol error. 19 and 20

I know ports 25 and 100 are open and forwarded on my firewall. Any suggestions?

Thank you guys.
