Mail configuration using 'microsoft exchange server'?

[breizou]

Hi,

In my company we dont have any smtp or pop but we use only a "microsoft exchange server" like:
server.mycompany.com
I found an old post about exchange server but I'm not sure I do the correct configuration.
I put the following parameters:

$g_smtp_host = server.mycompany.com;
$g_tl_admin_email = 'name@mycompany.com';
$g_from_email = 'test@testlink.com';
$g_return_path_email = 'name@mycompany.com';

$g_phpMailer_method = 'PHPMAILER_METHOD_MAIL';
$g_smtp_username = 'name'; # user
$g_smtp_password = '***** '; # password
$g_smtp_connection_mode = ' ';
$g_smtp_port = 25;

When trying to generate a report, I have no error and I have the following message in the GUI" message sent to 'name@mycompany.com' but I never receive the message...
How I can know if my configuration is wrong? Is there any debug traces?
Thanks,
Breizou

You have an smtp server, all incoming mail from "Internet" are using SMTP.

Try the following commands to get the address of your smtp:

Code: Select all

nslookup -type=mx mycompany.com

And leave $g_smtp_username and $g_smtp_password empty.

Hi Gunnar,

Thank you for your feedback. When entering the command you gave me I have:

server:xxx.mycompany.com
adress: IP_adress

I put $g_smtp_host='xxx.mycompany.com';

Keep empty '$g_smtp_username', '$g_smtp_password', '$g_smtp_connection_mode'
For the port" I keep the default value '$g_smtp_port = 25;'

For this parameter '$g_phpMailer_method', I tried the different options but still the same GUI message" message sent to 'name@mycompany.com' but no message receive...

When you execute the command you should get something like this:

Code: Select all

C:\>nslookup -type=mx teamst.org
Server:  my.dns.server
Address:  192.168.0.10

Non-authoritative answer:
teamst.org      MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = ms.smarthost.cz
teamst.org      MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = ms2.smarthost.cz

teamst.org      nameserver = ns.smarthost.cz
teamst.org      nameserver = ns.testudo.eu
ns.testudo.eu   internet address = 217.31.48.201
ns.testudo.eu   AAAA IPv6 address = 2001:1ab0:7e1e:2::5
ns.smarthost.cz internet address = 195.226.217.5
ns.smarthost.cz AAAA IPv6 address = 2001:67c:278::d45

The address you should use is one off the "mail exchanger = ....", use the one with the lowest "MX preference"

Hi,

In fact I got a mistake, but anyway by putting the correct smtp adress, I still have the same problem.
Perhaps I can catch traces with Eterheal to check what's appends.
