Hello All,<br />
<br />
We are using an old version of SharePoint services 3.0 wss running on W2008 server. I am attempting to setup incoming email into a list. I've configured the Central Admin to the best of my knowledge and when I go to configure the list's site settings with an email address under &quot;Incoming E-Mail Settings&quot;, I receive the error &quot;The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request.&quot; <br />
<br />
I've tried looking this error up and the best solutions I've attempted to follow are <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/b/jks/archive/2009/03/04/how-to-deal-with-an-error-in-configuring-incoming-e-mail-settings.aspx" rel="ugc">here</a>, but nothing worked.<br />
<br />
I've gone as far as creating a new OU called &quot;SharePoint&quot; and delegating rights to the container. Also making sure that the App Pools are consistent with the accounts - which they are. Can anyone else please suggest some items I need to check? I've exhaused my research and desperately need to get this resolved.<br />
<br />
Thanks!
