If a 2003 server is configured using a .local domain is it impossible to
enable SMTP services to send emails across the internet?

Not impossible but you would need to have an FQDN on the outside to
get something back.
 
Re: SMTP service impossible with .local domain

Don't need to get anything back, just need something on this side of the
firewall to send out messages from the sharepoint site.

What's the trick to configuring it? I've sent out several test messages but
they are never delivered and I never get a single error message of any kind.

Re: SMTP service impossible with .local domain

I suspect it could be a DNS issue.

Can you try doing a NSLOOKUP on hotmail.com and see if it resolves? If yes,
then try sending to a @hotmail.com account.

Also, check if the email got stuck on the SMTP queue.

for your scenario (sending out email), I know that is possible since I have
implemented that on my client's site.

Re: SMTP service impossible with .local domain

Looks liek the problem is somewhere other than the local server... emails
are getting to the hotmail account but not to my work account. Time to
pester the hosting service.

Thanks
