e-mail problem

Hello,

We moved our web from win2k to win2003 server. Then we can not send e-mail
to our domain.

i.e. our domain aaaa.com
we can send e-mail from web (use java script) to xxx@yahoo.com,
xxx@hotmail.com..., but we can not send e-mail to xxx@aaaa.com

All sent to xxx@aaaa.com e-mails will save in the drop folder.

How can we fix this problem?

Thanks

Re: e-mail problem

IIS6 does not by default suppor the CDONTS.NewMail com object.

Simple fix - copy c:\WINDOWS\system32\cdonts.dll from another machine to the
2k3 machine and then in a CMD.EXE console type regsvr32
c:\WINDOWS\system32\cdonts.dll (change paths to what ever you are using)

Not so simple fix - re-write your code to use CDO

Re: e-mail problem

Hi,

It sounds like the SMTP server thinks the email's destination is the local
server, but it is in fact another server.

You probably has aaaa.com listed as a "Local Domain" in the SMTP
properties, or DNS settings are incorrect (either globaly or on your local
SMTP server).

For more information on "Local Domains" see:

Re: e-mail problem

Hi,

I don't understand why it would be a problem with the code. If it was, the
email would not end up in the Drop folder, would it? I mean, the drop
folder is where emails destinated for the local SMTP server ends up, so
the emails seems to have been processed by the SMTP server.


Or am i misunderstanding something?
