Paul: Port 25 is the setting. No SSL. Authentication is required on Exchange. When I asked the question to the consultants as to why can't I use Thunderbird the response was "Exchange 2007 needs Outlook 2003 (or better) or OWA to send/receive mail". I tried Tbird and the connection was refused. Tbird is the 'official' mail client for the scouts...until the Arizona POP3 server is shut off. Then it will be Outlook. It is a shame as all of this was working so well before the Exchange nightmare. I did call the consultants today after reading your mail and asked them about CDO. I sent them my error code and code. They said they will get back to me...CDO would be my preferred method... Thanks for your suggestions. Hopefully this will be resolved quickly. Regards,

You just don't have the client settings correct in blat or whatever. Questions: + port 25 or no? If no, could be 993 or 465 + SSL or no? Probably SSL, probably wrapped in TLS + secure authentication or no? Probably yes Google for testing smtp servers using telnet. Then once you can send mail using a manual telnet session, you'll have all the pieces known to send email using your setup. Again, if mail clients can send mail through your Exchange server, then there's nothing misconfigured on the Exchange side. Unless Microsoft has done some incredibly shifty things when I wasn't looking. Which of course is always possible. :) But... if you can't set TBird or Outlook to send mail through Exchange, ask the consultants why that doesn't work and have them give you the proper settings. Say "I can't get my Thunderbird to send mail through Exchange. What am I doing wrong?" and send them the settings you are using.
