How do I get Outlook to use MHS not SMTP for external email?
I have external email via MHS on a Microsoft Mail postoffice, but
whenever I enter an internet form mail address Outlook detects the
type as SMTP, for which I have no service. The messages, therefore,
get bounced, unless I double click each recipient and manually change
the type from SMTP to MHS.
There MUST be a better way....
Any ideas???
Thanks

No, I want to use MHS to provide access to external (internet) email. However, when i enter an address on the form foo@bar.com outlook asumes that it must be sent SMTP, and, since I dont have an SMTP service, the mail never gets sent. need to double click on the address and change the address type to MHS, then it will get sent.
Any ideas?

CDMS: MHS is a Novell Mail gateway service. You need to create the service in Outllook and remove the SMTP service completely. The mail needs to move from Microsoft Mail, be converted, move through the gateway and then sent to the MHS mailbox on the server. Right now you are doing this manually when you click on the address to change it. As above, you only need to remove SMTP, add the MHS service and then setup the addressing conventions suitable to your gateway.
ASKER
Thanks for that, I did wonder what MHS was.
However, the answer does not help much in practice. The machines that need to use MHS have no SMTP service. They are set up with MS Mail only, and one of the transports supported by Mail is MHS.
The address format accepted by MHS via this route is the "normal" internet mail format: foo@bar.com.
Any further ideas?
I _hate_ anything to do with Novell. They always seem to complicate things. Give me good old SMTP/POP3 anyday!

CDMS: We've researched this issue as well as having spoken with Outlook engineering and while there are some suggested changes you can make (see attached) Microsoft's official position is that MHS is not supported. The following should be useful to you. You will need to modify the Outlook prf file to acomplish what your looking for and the values for those modifications are noted below.
--------------------------
The following contains the complete text of the Outlook.prf file that ships with Microsoft Outlook 97. This file is located in the Office folder on the Microsoft Office 97 CD-ROM and the Microsoft Outlook 97 CD-ROM. Your version of this file may vary slightly depending on which version of Outlook you have. Setup puts a copy of this file in the Windows folder on your hard disk.
Administrators can customize the Outlook.prf file before installing
Outlook, or after installing but before the user starts Outlook for the first time. Administrators can also use Outlook.prf in conjunction with Newprof.exe to automate the creation of messaging profiles. A unique Outlook.prf file is required for every unique messaging profile!
Outlook PRF file for Exchange Server users
--------------------------
The following PRF file is included as an example of how to create a PRF file that will configure Outlook users with Exchange Server. Section 1, 2, and 3 may be modified. DO NOT MODIFY SECTION 4. It will most likely cause Exchange services to crash. Be very careful when editing to ensure
property values match their property types. NOTE: The HomeServer setting for the Microsoft Exchange Server must be filled in before using this file.
For information about how to disable Outlook Profile Setup and instead use the Inbox Setup Wizard, see NONE.PRF in the Office Resource Kit.

Thanks for that. I really appreciate the effort you have put in. I will chew over your message and reply further when I have done so.

In fact, the simple answer seems to be to enter the recipient as [MHS:name@domain].

I may have misunderstood your message. Microsoft Mail Service supports MHS so no additional service was required. i understood your message to mean that you though I needed another gateway service.
In view of your considerable effort on my behalf, I have awarded the points anyway, even though your answer did not actually help in the end.

Therefore, from within Office, click on tools than services and remove the internet mail services from Outlook. If your internal mail service is not listed as a mail service, add it and when setting it up make sure that you direct it to that area on the LAN that contains the mail box.
If you need more, just ask!

Dennis
