Send e-mail to a sharepoint discussion board through outlook!
-
Hi guys, i'm really stuck here! But i must confess working with sharepoint products has put a smile on mine face :) I've done some troubleshooting in regards to incoming e-mail settings, when i drop a teste.eml file in the pickup folder, it goes directly to the drop folder, after few minutes the sharepoint timer service does it's job, after logging on my sharepoint site i see the email right there at the team discussion. This is how i have accomplished that: Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager (SMTP VIRTUAL SERVER #1) 1. SMTP Virtual Server #1, right clicked properties, access, relay, added 127.0.0.1, 2. Delivery, advanced, fully qualified domain name(FQDN): ******.co.mz (checked DNS, it valid) 3. Below SMTP Virtual Server #1, clicked domain, rename from wdsi38.******.co.mz to ******.co.mz 4. Right clicked domain name, properties, drop directory: C:\inetpub\mailroot\Drop 5. Checked enable drop directory quota Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 Manager (SMTP EMAIL) - Not sure if this configuration is necessary!! Email address: ******.co.mz, checked deliver e-mail to smtp server, smtp server: ******, authentication settings: specify credentials: username: machabane, password: xxxxx CA – incoming E-Mail Settings Enable sites on this server to receive e-mail? Yes Setting Mode: Automatic Use the SharePoint Directory Management Service to create distribution groups and contacts? No Email server display address: mylist@*****.co.mz Checked accept mail from these safe email-servers: entered the ip of the email server SharePoint Site e.g: http://wdsi38/sites/email/default.aspx Under discussions, clicked Team Discussions, Settings, Discussion Board Settings Under communications, clicked Incoming e-mail settings, allow this list to receive e-mail? Yes Save e-mail attachments? Yes Save original e-mail? Yes Save meetings invitations? Yes E-mail security policy: check Accept e-mail messages from any sender That was a nice troubleshooting, but instead of dropping things off the pickup folder folder, i want to send the emails to that pick up folder through am email client (Outlook), by the way i'm using hmail server, that's where i'm suppose to do the testing before going to production with exchange server. In the outlook, i've set up an email account from where i'm suppose to send an email to the sharepoint site: account type: IMAP, incoming mail server: vmdev03, outgoing mail server (SMTP):vm

Hi guys, I've done another troubleshooting as well just to see if sharepoint can successfully receive incoming emails. This time i did using telnet and it worked fine. But when it comes to use hmail server it doesn't work. Somebody gave me a hint, saying i should use a relay list or smtp connector to send email to my sharepoint site but i have no clues on how to do either both. From what i see there is no communication between hmail server which resides in a machine server with sharepoint site which resides in another machine server. Can somebody please advise.
