Cann't tell about the article, this link goes no where :-{ I don't think the problem is Exchange specific, but more the dialup goes brain dead, but I have not found any answers elsewhere, so I was asking here. I did all this setup within Exchange and the Internet connector.

After looking there is an MS solution aswell, but the above is wonderfully simple. The MS solution is under http://support.microsoft.com/support/exchange/content/whitepapers/dialupims. asp Hope this is what you are looking for. Cheers Simon -----Original Message----- From: Lyle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 October 2001 02:50 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 5.5 & dialup I had tried at the Microsoft forums and got nothing back. I thought I would try here. If anyone feels this is off topic, please just ignore<GRIN>! A new client called with a SBS server with everything installed. They are a K-8 grade school and have little money. It was installed as part of a network and they wanted email out of all of this. There is an ISP that does 'store & forward' so they could do this via a dialup parttime connection. They are also using this server as a proxy server for shared websurfer. It's a busy little server. It's also setup for multilink connection using two USR modems to the ISP. I updated NT to sp6a and exchange 5.5 to sp4. I turned off IIS on the public IP addresses also. I got most of it running well, but one part. It appears that after a while, mail will get stuck in the IMC with a message stating that it cann't resolve the name for the host. I setup the proxy to be 'on' or availible from 6am to 6pm M-F only. I setup the IMC to poll for mail every 4 hours for 15 minutes. The store & forward routine at the ISP should poll for the mail server in about a 10 minute cycle for mail inbound to this server. I found the server once dialed up but the dialup was not passing traffic and there were messages stuck in the queue. I brought up the dialup monitor and dropped the dialups. They dialed back up and mail was flowing. Any suggestions? I am at a lose here on what to do next??
