Tim Williams enlightened us with:


Can you send email via it using outlook express or a similar
POP3/IMAP mail client?

Wouldn't you use a SMTP client to send email?

I would, but I don't use exchange server. :)

The one exchange server I used in the past didn't accept SMTP
mail.


errr, I used to admin Exchange, if it does accept SMTP then how could it
function as a live mail server?

Did you mean *doesn't accept* ??

There are a couple of possibilities at least, of the top of my head:

* The IMC / IMS (smtp connector) is located on a different server
within its Exchange organisation, or a DMZ'ed exchange server that is
only used for SMTP.

* The server doesn't accept SMTP from local IP ranges, only from
external (ie inbound email)

Outlook / Exchange clients use MAPI, internal SMTP is only a
requirement if you have non-MAPI clients sending email through the
server.

HTH :)
