| Hi,
I am learning how to create a mail server in IIS and have a couple of
questions. I have an MX record configured in my DNS and checked through
nslookup that my DNS is working fine. I have IIS SMTP service installed and
running. When I try to telnet to my mail server I get the following error:
"Cannot open connection to host on port 25"
I do not have a firewall running on my server. Just antivirus. How can I
find out why my SMTP service is not working?
How can I configure and add email users in IIS MMC snap-in? Thanks.
Frank

| Ok, I fixed one problem. I found that my antivirus program bloked telnet so
I know that SMTP is running. I also configured it for relaying and tried
sending and revieving email. At the telnet command I get ok, but how can I
really see if I am using a valid email from my domain or verify that I am
receiving emails? Does POP3 work without Exchange?
Frank
Note: Please reply for my second question from the original post. Thanks.

Is your ISP blocking port 25?

By using the POP server, not SMTP. Assuming Server 2003, otherwise,
you need a third party mail server that does POP/IMAPI to use a POP or
IMAPI client.

See:

POP is only available on Server 2003.
