It's not a server problem. The message you are seeing means that Outlook cannot determine how to send out the message for the mailbox specified. It never even talks to your server because it can't figure out that it is supposed to be talking to an SMTP server. Note that POP has nothing to do with this; it is used only to retrieve mail. There are lots of different Outlook configuration errors that can cause this problem. Do a search in the Microsoft Knowledge Base on their Web site and you'll find quite a few articles listing possible causes and their resolutions. Also, if possible in your environment, Outlook Express is much easier to use with POP3/SMTP than the full-blown Outlook client. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raja Velu" <raja@micronetusa.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 23:16 Subject: FreeBSD sendmail server and POP clients > > Hi, > > I am using a FreeBSD box as a 'test' mail server (running sendmail) and have > setup a POP server for clients like MS Outlook to download mail from the > server.
