How can I know what my smtp & pop servers are?
|
|
|
| Hi
We have win2000 server and exchange 2000 at work they have
been setup by a support company who is not supporting us
anymore I am the IT support guy there now and I want to
know what/or how i can find out the pop3 ans smtp servers
are for our email?
so for example if my email was: ahmed@company.com would
there be an smtp and pop3 by default or do these have to
be setup independantly from the exchnage 2000 server?
if the awnser is yes is there a Microsoft article I can go
back to that explains how to configure the smtp and pop3?
the reason I want to know is so I can configure my outlook
at home to pick up my woek email because I realy dont like
to use OWA.

| Exchange 2000 has SMTP and POP3 support build-in and enabled by default, if
you only have one Exchange server then thats your POP3 and SMTP server more
than likely.

| Thank you for your reply Mark
Yes we have the one exchange server but I still havent
figured out what the pop and smtp servers would be for
example if our domain's name was companyplc.co.uk what
would be the pop? would it be pop.companyplc.co.uk &
smtp.companyplc.co.uk?
is there any tutorial or article u recommend for me to
read about how to configure/find out what the pop and smtp
would be on an exchange server 2000?
I appriciate your comments

| Only you will know what names have been given to your services, the simplest
thing to do would be to check your DNS and see what in there, also check you
Public DNS and see whats listed in there.

go to the command prompt
nslookup.exe
type: set type=mx
type: mycompany.com
output:
Server: myserver
Address: 192.168.0.7
mycompany.com MX preference = 100, mail exchanger = mail.mycompany.com
mycompany.com nameserver = ns.kampung.com
mycompany.com nameserver = ns2.kampung.com
ns.kampung.com internet address = 208.197.37.2
ns2.kampung.com internet address = 208.197.37.12

Exchange in 'auto' mode does not exist. So shortly, for each mail user, a
script or manual action has to be ran.
In very big companies, you do not know, where the mailstore for a specific
user is located (can be on different servers). The Exchange console however,
can tell you where that would be.
In fact, Exchange is that flexible, that you could configure it over several
servers, each with it's own role (like pop3/smtp/catagorizing/routing etc).
If your company falls into that category, hurry to get an exchange course 
otherwise, hire somebody.

So which part in this examplerepresents the POP & SMTP
serevrs?
>type: set type=mx
>type: mycompany.com
If I replace mycompany.com with a nem other than what my
company's name is would that change the settings?

This is what I plan to do
Thanx and look forward to your reply

SMTP only.
If you want to know where are the POP servers, mostly they are the same as
the SMTP servers.
