I am trying to get to grips with Exchange and have setup my SbS 2003 to use the pop3 connector to send and receive email. After finding I was able to send and receive some email but not others,it appears that my sender address is being shown as xxx.local rather than xxx.com. I understand thatome servers will bounce mail back on the basis of a reverse lookup on the domain name failing.

I went to user properties and added my xxx@xxx.com email address to the 'email adresses' tab - when I set it as primary i was not able to send or receive at all.

Can anybody give me a clue a to what i need to change and as to whether or not you think I am hve diagnosed the problem correctly? I am sure it is omething basicthat I have missed but it is driving me nuts

Grateful for ny assistance - Echange for Dummies is about to be thrown out the window!

Thnks for the fast response Peconet - don't think this was my issue though. I have not entered any mx records as i was just trying to get theserver to pop for the mail.

In the properties for your SMTP connector under the Address Space tab do you have it set to * or do you have something specified in there instead?

by russ

Under the smtp connector properties I could not see a field marked Address Space tab but I have completed the rest of the details as follows:

Username: xxx@xxx.com (same as i would usually use to authenticate for pop mail)

email Server: pop.xx.xx.com (same as i would usually use to authenticate for pop mail)

Mailbox type: user Mailbox

Exchnge Mailbox: Points to recipient

Super quick answers guys - I can't thank you enough!

Open the Exchange System Manager on your server, Click on the Connectors folder, choose your Default SMTP Connector, right click on it, click properties.
You should see the address space tab. Click on it and make sure you have an * in the space.

If i right click properties on the pop mil connector there are only three tabs: mailboxes, scheduling and troubleshooting.
