SMTP Outbound from Sharepoint Services
I have my smtp server set up exactly as outlined in the Admin Guide. I tested smtp by opening a telnet connection and all is okay there it seems. I configured the outgoing server in the Central Admin. page available under the 'Operations' tab. Still, each time I attempt to set an alert, I get the error msg: "This virtual server is not configured to send email..."
The Admin. guide specifies that email is configured from the "Default Email Settings" link which I don't see. My only visible link is under the 'Operations' tab. Is this the problem and how do I get to 'Default Email' settings?
FYI: I have installed MOSS 3.0 in a test environment on Server 2003 Std x64. I now understand that there's nothing to gained by this because if asp.net incompatibilities which force the application to run in 32bit mode anyway.
Am I better off reinstalling this on the 32 bit version and starting again?

Sorry, hit the wrong button by mistake and never completed the last (ID:31876089) message...
...DNS name is SSPS01... This is both the Sharepoint Server AND the SMTP server. Anything wrongs here?

Hi,
If I understand (GeorgeGergues) correctly, since the SMTP server and the Sharepoint server are the same server, SMTP Relay should be turned off?
Tested firewall status and got a freindly message back so all seems okay here.

FYI. I noticed that there's a bunch of email sitting in the 'queue' folder under inetpub.
One of the error messages: Unable to deliver message to the following recipients, due to being unable to connect successfully to the destination mail server.
I would assume that the destination mail server would be the one hosting the recipient's address?

I've attached a graphic of the settings I have. If I have done this wrong then it will be in the specification of the server name. The DNS name is ssps01.mydomain.ca
