I have my own server running the 2002 extensions and Im using FP2003 and IIS
6. I run thru No-IP.com because I dont have a static IP address. I have a
mail server address from them for my website: mail.mydomain.com. What I am
trying to do is email my form results to my Comcast email address. In the
Server Extensions settings I used mail.mydomain.com as the SMTP email server
and my Comcast email in both the reply and from line with all other setting
as default. So I guess I should ask if this is correct first off. Or shuold 
I
use the default SMTP virtual Server. I'm fairly new to all of this and have
ever thing else working great. I also know the Extensions are installed and
working as for every thing else that requires them is working fine.

Your forms result email address must match the domain name.

Okay, I changed that, and added mydomain (local(alias)) to the Default SMTP
Virtual Server and can send an email to the username@mydomain.com thru O.E..
I checked and it shows up in mailroot\drop. But the form properties still
says the server is not configured for email when I put the right email
address in, and the cofrimation page does'nt work(I get the USER/WEBMASTER
error page) and of course the results dont show up in the drop folder. Maybe
a good tutorial is what I need.

Have you configured the FrontPage extensions to use the SMTP server?

I'm having all the same problems as Keith.  But I'm not clear what Tom's
statement above means.  Which domain name is he referring to?  Does the
statement perhaps mean that if the SMTP server address is mail.mydomain.com
then mail must be sent to amailbox@mydomain.com, where mydomain.com is the
same in both cases?

I tried that, but when I clicked OK after setting the destination email
address in the form, I got this message:
--
This form cannot be configured to send results via e-mail.  The Web site may
be located at a disk-based location, or on a server that has not been
configured to send e-mail.  Contact your system administrator or Internet
service provider for more information.
--
Problem: I am the system administrator.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, the email address must be associated with domain sending the email.

If your setting the value on your local machine, disregard the warning and c
lick no to removing the
email address. When you publish the form to a server that has the FP extensi
ons via http and it is
configured to process Form email, then the form should work.

Thomas,

Thank you for the reply.

I tried ignoring the warning and publishing the selected file anyway.  And I
flushed the browser's cache.  But when I click on submit in the form, the
same error message appears:
--
FrontPage Error.
User: please report details to this site's webmaster.
Webmaster: please see the server's application event log for more details.
--
That error message is described part way down this web page:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/196489/

There is no entry in the Application Event Log.

The site was moved to the current dedicated server from another server.  But
the mail settings have been updated since then.  And the test form is a new
one that was created today.

The source and destination of the publish operation are two different copies
of the web site on the same server.  FrontPage accesses the source copy via 
a
regular file path.  It accesses the destination copy via the server's IP
address.

The SMTP mail server, and the From and To mailbox (same in this test) are on
a different server in a different domain.  Actually, I don't know whether th
e
web server has a domain associated with it at all.  I refer to it by IP
address.

Please ignore my last message.  The results of that test were meaningless
because a change that I made to the test form had not propagated to the web
server.

That did it!  Email from the test form was delivered for the first time.

Are the constraints on email addresses documented anywhere?

Thank you for your help!

Not that I am aware of.  The advice is given because many hosts (perhaps
the majority) place that restriction in their SMTP servers.  Some hosts
don't have that restriction, but these are sometimes open relays that allow
access to spammers.

About the requirement that the SMTP server's domain and the destination emai
l
address domain must match: is this requirement imposed by FrontPage or by th
e
mail server?

I'm dealing with a case where the SMTP server name and the destination email
address are not in the same domain.  If the constraint is imposed by
FrontPage, it may be possible to put an entry in the hosts file that makes
the two addresses appear to be in the same domain.
