Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 2000 / March 2004Exchange not receiving smtp mail and 3com
Hi There, I currently have a problem with a SBS2000 server. we had to reinstall SBS200o on the server due to corrupt hdds, but ever since, we are not receiving any smtp e-mail. We can send mail without any issues but not recieve mail. People who send us mail get "mesage is delayed" messages from their smtp servers. Not sure what the problem is and any help is appriciated. Also note that we found that the 3com support utility (that comes with their server cards) interferes with the active directory configuration when installing sbs2000, make sure to switch off the utility before you install else the active directory installation will fail! If anyone can either tell me what could be the problem with the mail or point me to some documents, it would be greatly appriciated Thanks Harjot Singh when you re-installed...did you go through a new install and then just restore data? Any chance that your server name now is different then it was from you first install?? ie original server1.mydomain.local now sbsserver.mydomain.local ?? This would screw up the mx records on the dns server and mail would never get to you. if you would like to share just your commercial domain name we can test and see whats going on  SignatureCris Hanna, SBS-MVP ---------------------------------------------- Please DO NOT respond to me directly but post all responses here in the newsgroup so that all can share the information Hi There, I currently have a problem with a SBS2000 server. we had to reinstall SBS200o on the server due to corrupt hdds, but ever since, we are not receiving any smtp e-mail.

If anyone can either tell me what could be the problem with the mail or point me to some documents, it would be greatly appriciated Thanks Harjot Singh Hi There, The Customer decided that they did not want their exchange server recovered, so what we did was to effectively build a new sbs server, and then restore the customers data into their company folders, hence there should not have been any issues with different server names, what makes even less sense is that when i tried to apply service pack 4 to the server, the install failed but then the exchange started to receive mail???? Still not sure why sp 4 keeps on failing, the files are copied but then it fails on the registry changes, am too frightened to reboot the server at the moment as it is remote from me, any suggestions will be appriciated!
