posted August 20, 2002 12:36 PM I downloaded a trial version of your MailTool and I am trying to make it work, so this is more of howto question. I've used the SMTP Client that came with the tool to test connecting to our MS-Exchange server but the connexion is refused (10061). I've used the IMAP Client that came with the tool and was able to connect and get all the mailbox information from my email account. Why can't the SMTP client connect? Can I use IMAP to send email? Thanks for your time |

posted August 20, 2002 1:30 PM Hi, 10061 usually means there is no Smtp server listening on port 25. Are you able to connect to this address and port with a telnet client? Imap is a mail retrieval protocol (like Pop), so no, you will not be able to send your mail using this protocol. -ken |

posted August 21, 2002 4:57 PM OK Here's what I need to do and tell me if I can do it. My application needs to send mail and I need to send it through our MS-Exchange server I do I log into the MS-Exchange server passing username/domain/password for the account to use. If SMTP is not the tool what do you recommend. Thanks |

posted August 21, 2002 5:22 PM How do you send email through MS Exchange with other products? Can you telnet into port 25 on the Exchange server. The only tools we have that send email are the ActiveX Mail tool, which has the SMTP tool, and the Mail for .NET tool, which has our new SMTP for .NET tool. - ⌡on |

posted August 21, 2002 5:30 PM No I can't telnet into the Exchange server throught port 25. The only other product that I use for email is Outlook 2000 and I'm assuming that it's using MAPI with my profil definition. |

posted August 21, 2002 5:40 PM We don't have any products that will do MAPI. If you can't telnet into port 25 then you aren't running an SMTP server (at least on that port). I don't know a lot about MAPI, but from reading about it on the web, I'm fairly sure we don't support it. You can put in a feature request to support@dart.com if you would like to see this functionality for sale in the future, no gaurantees though. If you need a tool that will send email to remote receipiants you can use our SMTP tool, and just turn on the SMTP server in Exchange. |

posted September 4, 2002 10:32 PM I'd like to key in on the "remote recipients" in the following reply: "If you need a tool that will send email to remote receipiants you can use our SMTP tool, and just turn on the SMTP server in Exchange." ... assuming Exchange is used for internal e-mail without using the SMTP server component, can that component then be enabled and used to send email to *LOCAL* recipients? |

posted September 4, 2002 11:03 PM No. For that I believe you would need MAPI, although I am not positive. |

posted September 5, 2002 9:55 PM This is of concern to us if your 'no' turns out to be positive. This means that users of our product will not be able to use our email capability as powered by Dart mailtool. Is there anything a site can do which handles internal email through MS Exchange Server to support email sent via Dart mail tool?? |

posted September 5, 2002 10:07 PM I'm not an Exchange expert. All I can do is tell you what I am sure of: If someone has access to an SMTP server they can send mail with our SMTP control. If they do not have access to an SMTP server they can't. |

posted September 5, 2002 10:35 PM Hello, Is there a specific reason you don't want to use Exchange SMTP to send mail to internal users? -Alex |

posted September 6, 2002 4:46 PM Hello Alex, We will use anything that works. I was simply reacting to the answer given above: "No. For that I believe you would need MAPI, although I am not positive." I interpreted this as saying we could *NOT* use Exchange SMTP to send mail to internal users. Do you have a different opinion on this? I.e. can Exchange Server send mail as it does now to internal users (presumably non-SMTP), and also send SMTP mail to internal users once Exchange SMTP is enabled (hope I'm wording this sensibly). I.e. would this 'enabling' of Exchange SMTP not be disruptive to current operations? |

posted September 9, 2002 11:03 AM You should be able to turn on SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) on your exchange server and send email to internal users as well as remote users using our tool. The issue Tony was referring to in his post is that when running Exchange without SMTP turned on, you will only be able to use MAPI enabled clients for internal messaging. When you enable SMTP on the Exchange server you will be able to use our tool to send email internally and remotely. To put it another way, our tool doesn't support MAPI (which Exchange and MS Outlook does support), BUT our tool does support SMTP (which Exchange and MS Outlook also support). We will look into providing MAPI support in our Mail tool. Hope that helps. |

posted September 9, 2002 2:46 PM Thank you - your answer is clear and helpful. We can now proceed with the expectation that a solution exists. |
