Very Computer

What is going on with this.. Am I over looking something simple? I
know this should be something simple that even a small business can do
on there own (at least according to the MS partner info I recieve.

Thanks for you guys being here you have helped me many times hopefully
you can again...

I dont have any experience of 2003 yet but I suspect is because you are
specifying the local domain name in the settings. I believe you must specify
a valid domain name as .local are just that, local, just like 192.x is a
local IP address. You must have some sort of email address with the ISP? can
you not use that? Even if its mycompany.tiscali.net or whatever.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Scott

So, Re-run the CEICW and instead of selecting
    "Use DNS to route e-Mail"
Select "Forward all e-Mail to server at your ISP"
and enter the FQDN name of the ISP's Mail server
 e.g.  mail.ISPdomain.net
-or- SMTP-Server.ISPdomain.com
( you may have to call them to get this detail )

The PoP3 connector is configured as normal,
 mapping the User accounts at the ISP to local AD Accounts.
