Exchange 2003 not sending emails

[alunmjones]

ill give that a go when i get the install disks

Try, install in the SMTP component again or create a new VS for SMTP and test using that

Exchange re-isnstalled, SMTP Reinstalled and im still stuck, i cant get out on port 25, even though nothing is blocking it, even had the support company remove the AV to test that, inbound is still fine, smtpdiag still gives me the same error, error 10060, im just stumped now, ive run a port scanner on the machine, it cant find anything other than smtp using port 25, it cant be corrupted as its been re-install, im really out of ideas except a format, wich will be a pain butting all of our websites back in/helpdesk/webemail/remote file access ect

Try changing the IP on the server, that way you can identify if it's the Machine or if its tied to the IP address.

 

Still points towards AV or Firewall software installed on the machine

[alunmjones]

its tied to the IP adress, changing the IP address get everything working again, ive moved it to another ip address i had free and changed the settings on the isa server to the new ip address, its working now, still need to find and iradicate the port bind or the software thats causing it.

[alunmjones]

stupid thing has gone again, its now blocking port 25 on the new ip address and the old ip address, this is starting to boil my brain

Windows firewall switched on?

 

Malware using port 25?

 

Running out of clues myself mate

[alunmjones]

i cant see anything else running on the server using port 25,windows fierwall is off, AV is set to allow port 25 traffic in and out, im just stumped, i might look in the IIS metabase to see if there is something screwy, but im not exactely sure what to look for.

[alunmjones]

i think there is something screwy with the iis metabase, unfortunatley i dont have a backup from befor the problem happned, i didnt think and the server has overitten it with a more recent backup

Try a netstat -ano from cmd prompt, see what's using port 25 there?

 

Otherwise have you got another server you can install exchange onto? Maybe a virtual server and migrate the mail across?
