RE: Need help FAST.....!

[Graham Cathcart]

Update and pointer……   Having followed Rob and Andy’s advice I got SMTP up and running again. However despite the fact you are SUPPOSEDLY doing a reinstall as per instructions, it appears it doesn’t actually reinstall everything you installed originally… i.e. doesn’t reinstall the Pop3 connector. After following Q319314 I eventually got it all working again.   That just leaves the messages that were downloaded when it wasn’t working… How do I get these distributed to the relevant mailboxes…. From the mailboxes the SystemMailbox has loads of messages in it. Is this where they all are ??   Thanks AGAIN in advance   Graham   -----Original Message----- From: Graham Cathcart Sent: 28 July 2002 19:17 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Need help FAST.....!   Spoke too soon so I did L   Cant get incoming mail now…Internal email is again working though.   Have checked the Connectors and have discovered Pop3 connector is missing …how do I reinstate it ????

Rob et all your da men !!!   Thanks guys….Just one thing……..is there a way to get all the mail exchange downloaded from ISP to now be distributed to all the relevant mailboxes OR have I lost them. I am hoping that is not the case or I am in big bother.   Thanks once again guys   Graham   -----Original Message----- From: Rob Wilcox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 28 July 2002 13:24 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Need help FAST.....!   By deinstalling and reinstalling SMTP you will have lost the Exchange specific extensions for SMTP.  I'm not sure whether the same holds out for SBS, but for "normal" E2K SP 2 there is the smtpreinstall tool.   Sorry I don't have the KB handy which points how to do this....  But you can search for it on microsoft's web site.   Thanks Rob -----Original Message----- From: Graham Cathcart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 28 July 2002 12:28 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Need help FAST.....! Hi all,   I am really pulling my hair our and REALLY need help from you guys….   I have a SBS 2000 set up and all has been fine, mail coming in from ISP and getting properly distributed to mail boxes ok.   That was until yesterday….. Now the mail is being brought in with no problem from ISP but the mail aint being delivered to the relevant mailboxes.   The ONLY thing I have done that may have caused things to foul up was yesterday….. I was going to install GFI Mail Security / Essentials, when going through the instructions I found I HAD TO have Virtual SMTP in IIS 5. When I checked there wasn’t one within IIS manager despite the fact that according to Components list in add/remove programs it WAS. So I unticked it applied and then reinstalled it. Lo and behold the virtual server appeared in the IIS manager list.   Like I said I DON’T know this is what has caused it or even if it stopped working immediately after I did this. But it’s the ONLY thing I have done to the server that I can think of may have caused it.   Any help or suggestion would be most appreciated… I have some REALLY important email due to come in and am afraid I may have lost them   Thanks in advance   Graham List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
