SSL on virtual smtp server
I have one front end exchange 2003 server with 2 virtual smtp servers, virtual smtp server "A" and "B", all on the same frontend server. Both virtual smtp servers are running normally and event logs are clear of warnings or errors. (thank god)
A: virtual smtp server running on port 25
B: (NEW) virtual smtp server running with a new godaddy SSL certificate on port 465.
Everything is working normally on "A", the issue I have it's with "B". I'm using outlook to test this newly created virtual smtp server, and I'm getting this error
your outgoing smtp server does not support SSL secure connections 0X8000ccc7d. I have gone over the settings on virtual server B many times.
I have checked the box for require secure channel and require 128bit encryption and restarted smtp server service, is there anything else I'm missing, I thought this would be straigh forward. Any help is appreciated
Question:
Do I need to create a new virtual smtp server on my exchange backend server on port 465? so that the frontend server can communicate with the backend?
Thank you,
Delmiro

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You have to do exactly as I stated.
so telnet host.example.com 25
Then type
ehlo
and you get a list of commands that the server will accept.
The two options do not have to be enabled to use SSL. All they do is REQUIRE SSL.

I do not know how, but I sent another test through outlook just know and it worked! I will tested again from another machine on the internet just to make sure. I have not changed any settings yet, I'm not sure why it was not working at the begining. I want to test it some more before I give it the clear.
I will let you know after I test it again.
Thank you Simon for helping.

When I unselected these boxes, I got no error messages on any of the machines I tested this with. Thank you for pointing this out.

When I unchecked the require secure channel and 128bit encryption, i stopped getting the error message about SSL certificate 0X8000ccc7d. We are all up and running.
