Exchange server malarkey

[bloodline]

I deeply suspect with the upcoming iPhone 3G... I'm going to need whatever help this thread offers...

Indeed :-) I have had some additional thoughts about this. It would be absurd if the Exchange server did not allow messages to be sent from outside the university network. That would mean people could only receive emails from other people with accounts on the Exchange server, not from outside. That can't be the case.

I think the problem is that existing messages in the mailbox are being viewed by a user who is logged on to the Exchange server (IOW I am viewing the mailbox on the server). That means the sender address it shows me is the Exchange address, not the SMTP address. If I could get it to display the SMTP address instead of the Exchange address, then it might reply to that address (which must be accessible from outside the university network)

If you just need an SMTP server, then use mine...  :-?

Holy Poop!!! I just popped the exchange webmail address into the exchange server field of entourage... and it's bloody working!?!?! I've never bothered before... I can't wait for my iPhone 3G!!! :-)

But you won't be able to send...

I'm still not 100% sure why you specifically want to use Exchange to send... But I'll look into this later, myself and see what happens :-)

I can't use SMTP to send because the reply address provided by the Exchange server is an address which is only valid within the Exchange. It doesn't work if you send from outside (i.e. through SMTP) So I either need to send through the Exchange server, or send to an SMTP server which has a host entry to allow it to resolve the address of the Exchange server.

I see...

Unfortunately the send and global address list features work fine on my Exchange server... so I guess your uni exchange server is playing nasty :-(

/Me watching thread with interest... and trying to mirror Moto's actions with my work exchange server...

In an effort to follow what you are doing... I've never really had much interest and understanding of network stuff... I did a bit of googling... only to find a naked picture of Gabriella Sabatini... I'm afraid, you're gonna be on your own... at least for the next 15min or so.. :-D

As long as that? Blimey, you need more practice!

Hahahah! Ok... I'll get practising... :lol:

Oh that poor, violated sock... :-P
Hey, we can trash this thread without feeling guilty since it's one of mine :-D

Yeah... well Gabriella wasn't all she's cracked up to be... I the sock didn't suffer so much...

-Edit- Yup... accidentally clicked on a link with Hillary Swank's breasts and that pretty much killed it :-(

Right, got a reply from my ISP. They are reluctant to make static entries their end for the uni MX server, in case anything changes at the uni end which screws up their settings and requires further changes. They have suggested that I ask the uni to put CNAMEs for the servers in to their zone. Unfortunately the IT department at uni don't even bother to return my emails :roll:

Set up a rival Exchange service and offer it to students and staff at the university?  :idea:
