Not Able To Send Mail Using SMTP Service On Windows 2003 Server Machine
Am using Windows 2003 server with IIS6.0 and SMTP.I tried to send mail using ASP.net C# code through SMTP service.But my mails are getting queued in C:InetpubmailrootQueue. What could be the problem??I've done many trouble shooting steps but no luck.I changed the Relay settings.Since I am in a LAN connection, i've tested the relay setting using both the 'localhost'and 'MyDomainIP'but everything in vain.

Setting Up A SMTP Server
I'm setting up an invite and request email notification system for my website. Its pretty process heavy (since all the invites and requests will need to be sent right away), so I'm planning to setup another machine that is only designed to send the emails. So I guess a SMTP server right? I have no problems installing PHP and linking the user generated emails, but how does this work in regards to the domain name? When the user imports his or her contacts on the main server (domainname.com) which then triggers the invite emails to be sent out with the SMTP server then how does that effect the clients' inboxes? Since the website that they've registered to is www.domainname.com and the SMTP server domain name is smtp.domainname.com? How does this all work? What I worried about is the inbox seeing the emails as apart of a different domain name and then tossing it all to the junk box.

Setting Up A Site In A .local Domain
I have a web server running Server 2003 and IIS6. I can access everything fine via IP. Now I want to have a domain name work with it. The server is in a .local domain environment. Does anyone have any info on how I should setup DNS for the web server if the domain itself is not getting any DNS info from the outside? Is it just a matter of adding new A and NS records or do I need to be in a FQDN domain for it to work?

VMware Server On A Win 2003 Dedicated Machine
Our company website runs on a Win 2003 server with ASP. Now we also want to run some new PHP applications (e.g. MediaWiki). I think of running them in a (Linux) virtual machine on the Win 2003 server, to keep everything separated. Does anybody else use VMware to split his dedicated server in several parts? It sounds like a good idea to me, but can not find much information about it. Or are there better alternatives?

Local To Live...sql Server
I have been working on an online shop locally from my machine, using Visual Web Developer and SQL server. This is working fine, but now its at the stage were i need to show a client. In order to do this i need to upload it to our servers. What i cant get my head round is the connection to the sql server, do i need to upload this too, or can i somehow point the connection string to the sql server sitting on my local machine... Is it easier just to upload an sql server? how would i go about this?

Local Mysql Server Name, IP Or Localhost
I am using localhost as mysql server name on my config file. then, when I enter [url], the address will automatically change to[url]that obviously getting error. when I change the mysql server name from localhost to the server public IP, everything seems ok. My sql is 4.1.x with php 4.4.7, is that any way I may use localhost instead of IP? or is there any potential danger using IP?

Different Local Remote Server Types
I cannot find a suitable forum for this query so here goes on this one! I am doing a charity site as a voluntary exercise. They currently host with Eclipse who have the Zeus server (site developed in Frontpage). This is not an open source server. Thing is, what are the issues of say developing on my loacal machine (apache or IIS5) and having the remote being Zeus. I use Dreamweaver 8 for developing. I would of thought this does not matter as the server technology is transparent and down to configuration files. The directory structure both ends can be the same. Am I right to go ahead and not worry about this?

Can't Access My Local Web Server By Its External IP
I have a local web server that I want to make available outside of my local network of two computers. I configured NAT at my router, configured the firewall. I Typed the external IP and got nothing, while I still was able to access my web server by typing "localhost", I tried both IIS and Apache, but what is interesting is that fact that the other people can access my web server via that external IP, I just cannot access it from my local network.

Unable To Connect To Local Httpd Server.
When i go to my website or any page under the domain it's just white. Blank nothing, nada. "Failed to receive status information from Apache. Unable to connect to local httpd server." This error message appears when i click on "apache status". Is this because of the network issue? Or is it because of something I did myself? I did a google search and came up on some solution, I did them and nothing.

Connecting To Local Server With Virtual Machines
How do you go about setting up virtual machines so that they can see sites hosted on the host machine? I've got Virtual PC 2007 and the disk image that MS supply for testing IE6 on Vista machines and I'm having trouble accessing my local Apache server (set up with XAMPP). Until recently I was able to set the XP VM's LAN settings to use a proxy server with the IP address of the host machine, but I got migrated to ADSL2+ yesterday by my ISP and now that's no longer working. To access my sites locally, I set up httpd.conf like this: PHP Code: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "C:PathToFolder" ServerName siteName.local</VirtualHost><Directory "C:PathToFolder"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all</Directory> and then in Windows hosts file I add 127.0.0.1 siteName.local. So what's the best way of getting the host and VMs to talk to each other?

Updating Access Databases On Local Web Server
I am using Windows XP Pro, and since I updated to Internet Explorer 7 I am having problems getting web sites to work on my PC in Internet Explorer using the local IIS web server. These web sites are using ASP and Access databases. The two errors I get are: Operation must use an updateable query. or Cannot modify the design of table 'TABLE_NAME'. It is in a read-only database. (they are not read only!) Does anyone know how I can get this working so I can test my web sites locally before uploading them to the live sites?

SMTP Server
I'm trying to do is to enable the PHP mail function to send email to other domain. I believe that the SMTP configuration in php.ini is pointed to a right mail server. Currently, the mail function is working probably if the email is sent to a local domain. However if I point the PHP mail function to send to foreign domain, it doesn't go through. For example: localdomain.com --> localdomain.com = Sent localdomain.com --> foreigndomain.com = Not Sent How to make the PHP mail function able to send to foreign domain instead of local domain only?

How To Configure SMTP On Different Server
How to configure SMTP on different server? I don't know why I typed SMTP in the title. I meant just the mail server. I just posted a message saying that my VPS is down due to FDCServers being down as they supply my host. I can live with a 24 hr blackout on my site (however definitely not happy about it). What I can't live with is having my mail.mydomain.com server being down at all. I run my VPS and host a few sites from it including a few clients. I need to make sure that my email doesn't go down when my VPS goes down. How can I go about this? If I purchase a second VPS plan can I have that run just my email server for me? If so, how much in resources do I need? Will a cheap plan do the trick (ie. 64mb Ram or something)?

SMTP Server Ports
Do SMTP servers by default use port 25 for receiving mail from another SMTP server? Are there any other receiving ports an SMTP server would be listening on by default? My question is, a server I will be setting up is going to be behind a firewall that blocks outgoing connections *to* port 25. Is there going to be any way around this that is workable besides opening the port?

SMTP Server Hosting
Do you know of any good large-scale SMTP server hosting? I've seen ads for SMTP serving but they seem to be talking about hosting your own email accounts, because they mention number of inboxes. I'm interested in a service where, rather than hosting my own SMTP server, I can point my mail application code to smtp.theircompany.com and it will send through those servers. Is the service I'm looking for technically possible, and is this what is meant by "SMTP hosting"? If so, why can't I seem to find any - could you recommend some? (I don't want POP3/IMAP hosting and don't want their other hosting services bundled - just SMTP hosting.)

Windows Server POP3/SMTP
I'm running Windows Server 2003. I have two domains on separate IPs: test1.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.160] test2.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.161] I am running two separate SMTP virtual servers (with different access rules) -- with two separate drop folders. default SMTP Virtual Server [assigned to 160] second SMTP VS [assigned to 161] I want test1.com added to the default SMTP server and test2.com added to the second SMTP server. I have read that I must add these domains via the POP3 service. The problem is that adding domains via POP3 service will always add the domains to the DEFAULT SMTP server. I want test2.com added to the second SMTP server. Is there a solution to this problem, or am I doing something wrong? Can xmail handle this scenario?

SMTP Server > ISP's Block
As some of you might already know, many ISP's have been blocking outbound traffic via port 25 to try to lower the amount of spam sent from thier clients. I am looking for a free smtp server for windows. (This is just for me to use, personal) I would rather run it on my windows server than my linux. I have tried over 7 free ones already including "Free SMTP Server" and after time they have all failed/not worked well/gave errors/and whatnot. Could anyone recommend me a simple smtp server I could run on my windows dedi that also has the function/option to change the incoming/outgoing port from 25 to another #?

VPS And Smtp Mail Server
I recently purchased a VPS, to host all my domains and so I can start working on my sites. The problem is however that I have noticed that my provider does not allow individual smtp servers. Is this normal for a VPS? Is there a solution to the problem that I could suggest? The problem is that the sender is added as host.myhostdomain.com and not smtp.mydomain.com, where mydomain.com is the domain that I want to create a website for and myhostdomain.com is the name of the server. If the SMTP server is not the same as the domain name, then my email will land in all different junkmail folders, which is not really what I had in mind. It is no use trying to build up a user database if you cant communicate with them. How should I be able to sell services, if I cant send an e-mail to my customers? I just dont know. I have to admit that I am a bit disappointed. It is not like I am paying a forture, but I am realistic. If one of them gets big I probably have to host them individually, but until I get more traffic this is a good solution. My hosting provider runs Cpanel/WHM/Fantastico/XController, if that helps. I have already tried to approach customer support about this issue, but the response was simply "With the PHP email issue, there really isn't a way to have it sent from some other address. It is technically coming from the hostname, so it will be labeled as such. In the php script, you can have it set to a different from address, but the actual sender will be from the hostname."

Using IIS SMTP Server Under Win2k
I've been trying to find some instructions on how to set up IIS SMTP server so that I can test my web site's php mailing form but I haven't had much luck. I've got a win2k box running the webserver and the IIS SMTP server, behind a router that is connected to my ISP. IIS is running, and I've gone through the properties tabs to set up the as described at: [url] including setting up localhost to be allowed to relay. Then I try to manually send an e-mail using telnet as described at [url] but I get an error '501 5.5.4 invalid address' when I try to enter the line rcpt to:myemail@hotmail.com. Other times it hasn't given me this error but I find the message sitting in the queue without any delivery address. I get the same error on the apache log when trying to send mail via my php website forms. I'm sure there is some simple thing I'm not doing right, but I've been at this for a while and thought it was time to ask.

Antivirus Solution For Smtp Relay Server
I have a dedicated windows 2003 server that acts as an smtp relay (legit purposes, not open). There are large amounts of mail relayed through the server and I would like to install some 3rd party software that can scan the messages/attachments for viruses. Ideally, if one exists it strips it from the message and notifies the recipient and/or sender of the problem. any ideas on where to start?

Dedicated SMTP Server For Sending Mass Mailouts
I have a website with a 70,000 user email subscriber database. we currently send all emails from a dedicated mail server sitting in our office. its very old, unreliable and our emails are constantly going to peoples junk. i've looked into things like campaign monitor, which looks great, but our custom made email system is already in place and all we really need is a dedicated and safe smtp server to use for the actual sending of the mail. i've looked at things like SMTP2go which i have used when overseas and works great, but i'm looking for something more designed for sending of mass mailouts, as well as the day-to-day emails sent from the site (signup confirmations, forgotten password reminders, etc)

Multi Location SMTP Server Or Email Platform
for a SMTP server / hints at how it might be done to accomodate the following : One single email will be sent. If it doesn't get sent on the first try by one server, another server at another location will attempt the connection and will send out the email then. Is there a prebuilt solution that anyone knows that will help with these things ? If not, do you know of any ways that this might be possible to be done - even if you don't know the exact details of how it should be done - any help in finding out something like this would help . Note : Linux / Windows / FreeBSD / Solaris is fine. So whatever OS it is, it's fine by me.

Not Passing Dnsstuff.com Test - Smtp Server And DNS
I have a question getting the setup of my DNS and email server working correctly. In my mailserver, lets say I set the SMTP server to mail.BLUE.com. Through my DNS, I set an MX record for mail.BLUE.com and I set an A record for mail.BLUE.com to 1.1.1.1. I create different domains on my mail server and give each an IP address. BLUE.com is 1.1.1.1. RED.com is 2.2.2.2. GREEN.com is 3.3.3.3. Each domain is setup in my DNS as a forward lookup zone. Each domain has an MX record (mail.domain_name.com) and a A record (pointing mail.domain_name.com to it's IP address). There are other records of course... but they're not important for my question. When I want to check or send mail from BLUE.com I use mail.BLUE.com. When I want to check or send mail from RED.com I use mail.RED.com. I do this for all my email accounts. But, when I check dnsstuff.com on any domain besides BLUE.com, it tells me the following: **************************** mail.RED.com claims to be host mail.BLUE.com [but that host is at 1.1.1.1 (may be cached), not 2.2.2.2]. **************************** Now... this can send and receive mail just fine... but I think this may cause issues when it comes to SPAM settings (some servers may consider our mail SPAM because we're "pretending" to be a different mail server). So... here's my question... what's the best way to set everything up to run multiple sites and email accounts on one server? How can I use 1 SMTP mail server (BLUE.com) and get my other domains to pass the dnsstuff.com test?

Cannot Send Mail Through VPS SMTP Server. The Usual Fixes Didn't Work.
Over the past week, the SMTP server on my VPS has been hanging whenever I try to send an email from my computer. It'll eventually work again, but now it's been down for the count for about 18 hours. Tech support keeps on recommending minor fxes and issuing standard responses like "try disanbling your firewall" and the like, but nothing works. I have already told them this: * I know _you_ can probably send POP/SMTP mail through my server. I can't. * Mozilla Thunderbird will connect and send mail through other POP/SMTP servers.. Not my server here. * I can connect to _receive_ email, but I can't send it. * My ISP (SBC/AT&T ADSL) does not block outgoing mail to port 25 on my account; I had the block removed. * I've got an exim server running on port 26, too. Doesn't make a difference. * I tried connecting from another ISP (my work PC). Still can't send mail. * I tried using IP addresses instead of my domain name. Doesn't work. * I didn't change any account names, passwords or anything like that. * I tried other email clients. Can't send mail with them, either. * The exim queue has very few messages in it. Clearing the queue didn't work. * I disabled firewalls. Didn't help. Besides, I was able to connect to other mail servers - just not my VPS here. * There are no typos in any of the account or general configuration settings in my client. Nothing changed. One day I could send mail, now I'm having problems. I keep saying this, and keep attaching entried from exim_mainlog with error messages like this PROVING that I can't send mail: 2007-02-01 08:26:00 H=adsl***** [*****]:1294 I=[*****]:25 incomplete transaction (connection lost) from for *****@gmail.com 2007-02-01 08:26:00 unexpected disconnection while reading SMTP command from adsl***** [*****]:1294 I=[*****]:25 2007-02-01 08:26:17 SMTP connection from [*****]:1344 I=[*****]:25 (TCP/IP connection count = 1) 2007-02-01 08:29:34 H=adsl***** [*****]:1344 I=[*****]:25 incomplete transaction (connection lost) from for *****@gmail.com 2007-02-01 08:29:34 unexpected disconnection while reading SMTP command from adsl***** [*****]:1344 I=[*****]:25 Any ideas? I think tech support at my end has given up; it's been hours since I last heard from them, and that was just to say that they updated everything to the current version, and disable the firewall. (Again!) Didn't work. So, before I pack my bags and find another VPS host, what should I do? Having outgoing SMTP email is a MUST; not having it is a deal-breaker.

Setting My Own Server
I am interested in setting up my own server, more than anything just for the experience. I would like it to be a linux-based server and to be managed purly through the command line [i.e. no GUI]. Can anyone point me towards any goods book/resources for learning this? From what I read I believe that sitepoints own book does not cover any command line stuff, and everything happens purly through the GUI.

I can find out how to install PHP and SQL, but further than that, FOr example. demonoid.com resolves to an IP. If you visit that ip directly, you get the site. How do i do that?? No control panel, nothing. ONly one domain.
