windows 2003 SMTP not working because of DNS?
I've been pulling my hair for over a week here... Can anyone please help me?
first of all the IPs I'm using for www, mail, ns1 and ns2 are on 1 NIC
I have IPs from SBC and they delegated DNS and reverse DNS to me.
I have another NIC with a different IP and it's configured to use the DNS from SBC.
I am using win2003 enterprise and I configured it as my DNS server.
This is what I have for my DNS settings (the server name is jade.type3.net)
Name Type Data
(same as parent folder) Start of Authority (SOA) [16], jade.type3.net., hostmaster.type3.net.
(same as parent folder) Name Server (NS) ns1.type3.net.
(same as parent folder) Name Server (NS) ns2.type3.net.
(same as parent folder) Host (A) 67.125.152.83
(same as parent folder) Mail Exchanger (MX) [10] mail.type3.net
mail Host (A) 67.125.152.83
ns1 Host (A) 67.125.152.81
ns2 Host (A) 67.125.152.82
ftp Alias (CNAME) type3.net.
www Alias (CNAME) type3.net.
nslookup shows me this:
> mail.type3.net

Aliases: www.type3.net
I can telnet to the mail server on port 25 and send a test message which I receive with Outlook Express
I can send mail out, but when I reply to it (or if I send mail directly to mikec@type3.net or mikec@mail.type3.net) from a different server on a different network I get this email sent by postmaster@jade.type3.net:
Reporting-MTA: dns;mail.type3.net

Arrival-Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2004 22:16:33 -0700
Final-Recipient: rfc822;mikec@type3.net

If I use Outlook Express to send myself a message from the Windows2003 server itself I get this in the Badmail folder:

I don't see any errors in the DNS Event log
I did find this warning in the System log:

You don't happen to have the SMTP Virtual Server configured to use itself as a smarthost do you?
If so it will send email to itself resulting in a loop.....

No, all I have under advanced delivery is the FQDN mail.type3.net with a max hop of 15. no masquarading domain and "Perform DNS reverse..." unchecked
you need to make sure that the domain 'type3.net' is configured as a *local* domain, otherwise smtp server will try to relay it to the default MX host (ie himself)
if it is set as a local domain, then smtp server will drop it to the user mail store folder ready to be collected via pop3 server.
cheers, Mike.

Under Default SMTP Virtual Server I have two entries:
Local (default) domain which is mail.type3.net
Local (Custom) domain which is type3.net
Is this what you mean?
If I send mail from the box itself to mikec@type3.net it ends up in the badmail folder with the error:
Final-Recipient: rfc822;mikec@type3.net
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
I have some messages in the drop folder but they don't get picked up.
I checked SMTP through telnet, and mail ends up in the badmail folder
nslookup tells me this:
Server: ns1.type3.net
Address: 67.125.152.81
type3.net internet address = 67.125.152.83
type3.net nameserver = ns1.type3.net
type3.net nameserver = ns2.type3.net
type3.net
primary name server = ns1.type3.net
responsible mail addr = hostmaster.type3.net
serial = 2004072732
refresh = 1800 (30 mins)
retry = 600 (10 mins)
expire = 864000 (10 days)
default TTL = 3600 (1 hour)
type3.net MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.type3.net
ns1.type3.net internet address = 67.125.152.81
ns2.type3.net internet address = 67.125.152.82
mail.type3.net internet address = 67.125.152.83
I checked my dns at http://www.dnsreport.com also and everything is OK.
I'm going crazy :(

> Under Default SMTP Virtual Server I have two entries:

yes, that's what I am referring to. did you try reversing the default and the custom? (or remove the mail.type3.net completely)?
cheers.

I cannot remove either domain, but I can rename them, so now I have
type3.net (Default)
mail.type3.net (Custom0
I can now send mail to user@type3.net, but I can only see the messages inside the Drop folder… Neither Outlook Express nor Outlook 2000 (from a different network) pick up the mail from the Drop folder.
I changed the authentication for the Default SMTP from Basic Authentication to Integrated Windows Authentication. Will this protect me from relaying? I’m asking because with this new setting, when I try to send mail to mikec@type3.net I get this:
Message from yahoo.com.
Unable to deliver message to the following address(es).

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
