Hi there,

I installed Exchange using SMTP on Port 25 (telnet 25 sais the port works) and configured Pop Collector successfully to fetch pop3-accounts.
But the connection to the exchange server failed.
Both Programs were on the same server.

Here were the logs:

10.06.2010 14:53:47 POP: My_User opening connection
10.06.2010 14:53:47 POP<-: +OK Logging out.

Does anyone has an idea? It's like not seeing the forest because of so much trees in front of me ....

Hi

I have successfully installed on W2K* R2 with Exc 2010 and forwarding is fine. I have the IP address of the server in the SMTP Server address box and the port number as 25.

Originally it faled as I forgot to change the port number on the Pop Collector SMTP server screen.

I am assuming you have not made the same mistake! Otehr wise I have two different problems which I have psoted under separate replies.

For me it was about the onyl thing I instaleld and then didint have to find some obscure Microsoft configuration options to make work!!

I solved the Problem actually.

For some Reason Port 25 is blocked and I had to change the incoming SMTP Port of Exchange 201 to 587.
After that it worked. I have not found the reason why port 25 is blocked - still searching.

If someone has the same problem - here is ONE posibble solution (not fine, but quick):

1.) Start -> Programs -> Exchange Management Shell
2.) If the screen after some time is flooded with red Text goto Step 3, otherwise goto step 5
3.) Type into the Shell: Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass
4.) Confirm with J and close and restart Exchange Management Shell
5.) Type into the shell: Get-SendConnector
6.) Get the desired Identity-Name from the list, in this example from now on called "MyIdentity"
7.) Type into the shell: Get-SendConnector -Identity "MyIdentity" | fl
8.) Check in the list if the port is still 25
9.) Type into the shell: Set-SendConnector -Identity "MyIdentity" -port 587
10.) To check again type: Get-SendConnector -Identity "MyIdentity" | fl
11.) Finished. Your Exchange Server 2010 now listens on Port 587.

Thanks to the developers for this great product
