Hi,

could anyone tell me, is it possible to send outoing mail from exchange trhough a pop mail account?

I can receive it ok, but cannot send it out again.

Thanks

make sure you are authenticating (user id and password) for smtp (outgoing) mail from your email client.

Uhh,...

pop accounts are for receiving, you dont send through a pop account.

thanks for the replies, I am sending using smtp and dns, but just wondered whether i couold go back out through the pop3 smtp server.

There is NO pop3 smtp. Pop3 is for receiving, SMTP is for sending.
What do you want to do? Send E-Mail from the server?

Hi, thanks, yes I am aware of the differences between pop and smtp.

When you set up pop mail you are given the pop3 server for receiving and smtp for sending, I wondered in my original post if there was anyway you could send the mail out back through the smtp server that is owned by the isp that host your pop account.

cheers

ok, lets see if I get this.

1 You have an Exchange server.
2 You retrieve mail from it using POP3
3 When you send, you want to use your local ISP, not the one from the server?

yes, that was exactly what I wanted to do originally.

I am sending out just using dns at the moment and its ok.

But do you know a way of doing it?

thanks

All you need to do in your Outlook is set your ISP as SMTP (outgoing mail), not the exchange server.

ASK your ISP for their outgoing (SMTP) mail server name, and add that name to your Outgoing mail server name field under the Servers page in Outlook. Don't forget however, that most ISP do not require Authentication to send mail throught thier smtp servers like Exchange does, so remove the "my outgoing server requires authentication" check from the check box.. and everything should work fine.
