Microsoft Exchange System Mananger -> Administrative Groups -> First Administrative Group -> Protocols -> Pop3 -> Defualt Pop3 Vitual Server -> (Right Click) Properties

Pop3 is used to retrieve email only. If they need to send email, they will have to also use smtp protocol.

 

by: dsc18Posted on 2005-08-31 at 06:32:16ID: 14793486

Thanks for the response, But that just displays information about the default pop3 virtual server and which ports they are using. I need to find the actual incoming and outgoing info... like pop3.mydomain.net or smtp.mydomain.net

 

by: RPPreacherPosted on 2005-08-31 at 06:34:24ID: 14793498

That POP3 information is stored locally in Outlook, not on Exchange.  The local client POP's the server not the Exchange server.

 

by: xuserx2000Posted on 2005-08-31 at 06:38:22ID: 14793539

your pop3 and smtp should be available on an outside ip address...provided everything is setup correctly.

Whatever that outside ip address is....is the pop3 server you plug into outlook...same for smtp.

don't know your ip ? - goto > www.whatismyip.com ...from the server

example setup....  exchange server listening on an inside interface...like 192.168.100.2  ....your router or firewall if you have one...would redirect  port 110(pop3) and 25(smtp) from outside ip 204.231.13.xxx to the internal address.

OH -- if you are looking for your MX records, just go to www.dnstools.com and enter the outside name

 

by: APHComputersLtdPosted on 2005-08-31 at 09:45:07ID: 14795473

If your are configuring clients attached to your Local Area Network Then the POP3 and the SMTP Servers should be set at the local IP Address of the Exchange Server, eg 192.168.0.1
However if your are trying to connect to your Exchange Server from outside of your network via the internet, this is a different matter. There are two different scenarios: one is that your Exchange Server has a second network card or a modem with a public IP Address, the second is that you have a NAT enabled internet connection using a router/firewall.
In the first scenario the POP3 Server will be the public IP Address of your Server, the SMTP is a little more tricky. By default you will only be able to use your Exchange Servers SMTP server to send email to addresses within your domain so as not to act as a relay. You can open up your SMTP Server to allow connections from anywhere to anywhere but this is not recommended. I would recommend you use the SMTP server provided by the remote users ISP, eg post.demon.co.uk if using Demon Internet. The second scenario is the same principal, however you will have to forward ports 110(POP3) and 25)SMTP from your router/firewall to the Exchange Server.

It would be useful if you could let me know your exact setup
