outlook express/exchange server

Locked

I have configured my outlook to connect to my exchange server. everything works fine in outlook. I am able to send and recieve email. When I attempt to use outlook express off of the same configuration, I am only able to recieve. I get a “host not found” attachment on my NDR. I have been through the IMS setup and verified everything. The exchange server is connected to a sonic wall with dmz. This is an initial tryout of this server. Everything was working properly on a legacy email program withoutlook express on the client side. Is the dmz security preventing the smtp from working properly or is there something else I should be looking at?

Check you authentication settings for OL express. The firewall could be stoping the pass thru.

Can you telnet by port 110 your exchange server and retrieve mail?
If you can, the problem is the setting of the account in Outlook express. Remember that the mail server POP3 and SMTP is just the name of your exchange server.
