BackupExex2010 : email notification not working
On a SBS2008 server with Exch.2007, I'm having problems with email notifications:
(1) have setup SMTP notification (as MAPI setup errors- see item2): have tried SERVER.domain.local as well as 192.168.16.2 and with/without authentication for SRVadmin. Test email process says email queued but never received.
(2) on applying MAPI, getting error that MAPI components aren't installed. There's no Outlook installed. I have just now installed MAPICDO components but this is still giving the same error (haven't rebooted server since applying)
Thanks in advance,
jay

flf4eva is correct. Don't use MAPI. MAPI would require a MAPI compliant program like Outlook. Use smtp. I use BE2010 as well. You will have to create a receive connector for it to be accepted, then you should be fine. Otherwise you can bounce it off another server. I actually use my spam appliance as a relay to avoid having to set this kinda stuff up in Exchange.
Like james said you are probably missing the relay connector or have not added the ip address of your server running BackupExec. Once you had the address to the allowed relay you should be working just fine.

Many thanks for the prompt responses.
Are you able to detail the relay connectorsetup?
I've tried both server.domain.local & 192.168.6.2 which is the server running Exch2007. Note that BacExec runs on same box.
Exch uses dns to send emails. Server is setup with one send connector: Windows SBS Send SERVER.
Alternative that I was going to try was smtp.myisp.com with appropriate auth. Prefer not to use this.

I've found the solution in the article below. This applies precisely to SBS2008/Exchange2007 system I'm working on. Having applied this, BackupExec is now issuing test emails.
