Frontpage - SMTP/DNS configuration problem - 4/29/2004 7:28:02
Hi, I have recently joined the forum and I have a problem that you may be able to help me with.
I have setup a test system at home to explore the wonderful world of Web design. I am relative novice. My background is in High speed IP data networks so I have some experience with computers. I have a basic understanding of DNS and SMTP which is the area I am having problems with.
The system:
I have setup two MS 2003 servers both have 2 NICs, one public, one private (198.168.0.0), host names are gateway-alpha and gateway-test.
Gateway-alpha is configured as the DNS, DHCP and routing server and is the default gateway for the private network.
Gateway-test is configured as an IIS 6.0 HTTP server and has a default SMTP server setup.
I have also setup a POP3 service
I have configured a test web and extended it to support frontpage server extensions.
I have configured the SMTP server to restrict relays to my public subnet and localhost. Hostname for the SMTP server is mail.motorhome.mine.nu.
Using Frontpage I set up a test web at http://test.motorhome.mine.nu its a simple page with a link to a form that should email results back to an address.
Tests:
A ran various tests to check email function. I can logon to the POP3 service and send emails. I can also receive emails from an external source. So the SMTP server is working ok.
I set up the form properties on the web page to send results to an external email address that is hosted with my ISP. results are sent ok and I can recieve the email from my IPS.
If I set the form properties so it uses an email address at the local POP3 service it fails.
Problem:
When I try and submit the form from the test web page with the results email address pointing to a local address it fails.
when I check the badmail folder it seems the form api email() has tried to send the mail but the SMTP server has rejected it.
this is the message (abridged version)

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Question:
Can I set up web forms to have the results emailed to the local SMTP server. The reason I what to do this is so I can pick up results emails remotely by logging on to the POP3 service?
I suspect I have missed something obvious like I need to setup the DNS with something- but this is were my in-experience comes in. Can any one point me in the right direction. Is what I am trying to do possible?
I would appreciate any help you can give.
Many thanks in advance.

IIS SMTP service isn't all it's cracked up to be. You will need to get a program like MailEnable or Smartermail to get the SMTP and POP server done.
Can we see your DNS config?
You might also want to take a look here
You might also be better off getting this moved to Server Issues

Thanks for the fast response Giomanach.
You have some issues with IIS SMTP. Can you tell me what you think?
The DNS config is standard as of install. ie: local domain is bickleigh.local with the DNS forwarder pointed at my ISP DNS. No other entries have been made.
I will have a look at MailEnable and Smartermail thanks for the tip.
How do I move the thread to the Server issues section?
Many thanks
Bickleigh
