Exchange and ISA help

Trigger said:
Right, I've never done this before but a quick google has given me a few pointers. Would I type something like this:

Code: 
telnet victor.testnet.local 25  [ENTER]

helo zulu.rsc.local  [ENTER]

mail from: [email protected]  [ENTER]

rctp to: [email protected]  [ENTER]

data  [ENTER]

Test Email  [ENTER]

.  [ENTER]

quit  [ENTER]

Where 'victor' is the exchange server and 'zulu' is another server.

Does that seem right?

Thanks :)

Those are the correct commands yes.

Make sure the rcpt to: is a valid email address on the server.
 
Right, thanks :) I'll give that a go tommorow.

Could anyone suggest a decent spec for a server? I've just been looking at this:

Another few questions as well:

1.) Does anybody know if Sophos PureMessage will work with Exchange 2007 or does anybody recommend another product if I need one at all or will it be ok without one?

2.) Will that spec above run Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition which I need for Exchange 2007?

3.) Do Symantec do a remote agent for exchange? At the moment, we have a sort of 'main' server which has the tape drive in and this also backups up the other 5 servers and the SAN and I was wondering if I could intergrate the exchange backup into this?

Thanks :)

Thanks :) Says it only works with Exchange 2000/2003- do you know if it works on Exchange 2007?

Any ideas on the other questions?

Thanks for your help :cool:

How about this then:

HP ML150 G3

Intel Xeon 3GHz 64-bit compatible 4MB L2 Cache
1GB ECC Registered RAM
650W PSU
80GB SATA drive
Tower Case

And I'll get another 1GB of RAM and two 160GB SATA drives, partition them into a 25GB Partition for Windows and the rest for the Exchange databases and then RAID them...

It doesn't need a tape drive- it's going to connect to the server with a tape drive via a Veritas agent :)

Does anyone have any idea about Sophos or whether the Veritas agent will work with Exchange 2007?

Also, can we get Exchange free if we have a Software Assurance agreement with Microsoft?

Think I prefer the second option myself :)
 
Right, well I can now receive mail so that's good. I tried doing it as oddjob62 said via telnet and it rejected me saying the sender could not be authenticated. Anyway, I went on the Microsoft site trying to find out how alllow anonymous connections on the reveive connector and they were directing me at a 'Permissions' tab on the recieve connector properties which I couldn't find so I eventually started messing with the exchange management shell, guessing commands etc and eventually came up with this:

Code: 
set-receiveconnector permissiongroups: "anonymoususers";

Which fixed it, so thanks for everyones help with that- much appreciated :)
