SMTP configuration 1

[lweng]

Hi, I'm trying to use oracle enterprise manager console email notification for database job, but failed. I test email outside the Enterprise Manager product to determine if the actual problem is with the SMTP. Here is what I did and result:

C:\> telnet mail@yahoo.com
Connecting To mail@yahoo.com...Could not open a connection to host on port 25: Connect failed

Did I miss something on 2k server SMTP configuration? Thanks.

I had the same problem using Win2K's telnet app
try using the telnet app from NT4. I like it much better, and copied it to my Win2K laptop.

You can use:
telnet mx1.mail.yahoo.com:25 or
telnet mx2.mail.yahoo.com:25 or
telnet mx3.mail.yahoo.com:25 or
telnet mx4.mail.yahoo.com:25

Please tell me where to copy from, which dir? From NT4 CD? Thanks.

There are 3 "telnet.*" files in c:\winnt\system32. I copied the three of them into a folder I created in Program Files on my Win2K box. I don't know if you need all three, but it works fine.

Could you email me these three "telnet.*" files at wenglingkai@yahoo.com since I don't have NT with me. Under which dir I shoud create the folder (what folder name should be specified)and put those telnet files in? Thanks.
