FAQ: How To Setup Exchange Server 5.x (or earlier)
Microsoft Exchange Server 5.x (or earlier) uses a service called the Microsoft Internet Mail Service (IMS) to send and
receive Internet messages. This service is an SMTP server. eXchange POP3 downloads messages from the Internet using the POP3 or IMAP
protocol and then relays the messages to IMS using SMTP, which in turn delivers them to Exchange Server.
This FAQ is divided into 3 sections:
Section A: Configuring Exchange Server with IMS not installed.
Section B: Configuring Exchange Server with IMS already installed.
Section C: Configuring eXchange POP3.
You only need to do Section A or B but you must always do C.
Section A: Configuring Exchange Server with IMS not installed.
STEP A.1: Run Microsoft Exchange Administration program.
From the Windows Start Menu select:
Programs  Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Exchange Administrator
STEP A.2: Verify Internet Mail Service is not already installed.
Open the Connections branch and check if Internet Mail Service is already installed by selecting:
your organization your site Configuration Connections
If Internet Mail Service is already installed as show above, stop and go to
Section B in this document.
STEP A.3: Install Internet Mail Service.
From the Microsoft Exchange Administration program's menu bar, select:
File New Other Internet Mail Service
This will start the Internet Mail Wizard to guide you through the installation.
Enter the following as the Wizard prompts you:
Click Next.
Click Next.
Make sure the checkbox Allow Internet mail through a dial-up connection
is NOT enabled. eXchange POP3 handles any dial-up requirements you may
have or uses any available proxy server.
Click Next.
If the Wizard complains that you have not configured DNS, follow these steps:
- From the Control Panel, double-click the Network icon.
- Click the Protocol tab.
- Double-click TCP/IP Protocol.
- Click the DNS tab.
- In the Domain field enter your Internet domain.
- Keep clicking OK to finish.
- Now back to the Wizard and click Next.
This step configures the Microsoft Internet Mail Service to send its Internet-bound messages through eXchange POP3.
This is necessary if you are using a dial-up connection but if you are using a dedicated Internet connection then you do not
have to direct all messages to eXchange POP3 but it is still recommended.
Select Route all mail through a single host and enter the host name or IP address
of the computer where eXchange POP3 is installed.
Click Next.
Select All internet mail address.
Click Next.
Enter your organization's domain name. This is used by Exchange to format Internet addresses for all your Exchange users. You can later override the address of individual users or give them additional Internet addresses (aliases).
Click Next and continue with the Wizard until you have completed all the steps.
GO TO SECTION C.
Section B: Configuring Exchange Server with IMS already installed.
STEP B.1: Run Microsoft Exchange Administration program.
From the Windows Start Menu select:
Programs Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Exchange Administrator
STEP B.2: Open the Internet Mail Service properties.
Open the Connections branch and check if Internet Mail Service is installed by selecting:
your organization your site Configuration Connections
If Internet Mail Service is installed, you should see it listed. Double-click Internet Mail Service.
If Internet Mail Service is not listed, stop and read Section A in this document.
STEP B.3: Connections.
In the Internet Mail Service Properties click the Connections tab.
This step configures the Microsoft Internet Mail Service to send its Internet-bound messages through eXchange POP3.
This is necessary if you are using a dial-up connection but if you are using a dedicated Internet connection then you do not
have to direct all messages to eXchange POP3 but it is still recommended.
Select Forward all messages to host and enter the host name or IP address
of the computer where eXchange POP3 is installed.
STEP B.4: Routing.
Click the Routing tab.
Select Reroute incoming SMTP mail.
Add your domain to the list. Click Add. This displays a dialog where you can your domain and select Should be accepted as "inbound". Click OK.
STEP B.5: Dial-Up Connections.
Click the Dial-Up Connection tab.
Ensure that all Available connections are NOT checked. Exchange POP3 handles the connection to the Internet; therefore, the Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service does not need to use dial-up connections.
Click OK.
STEP B.6: Restart Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service.
You have completed the necessary changes to the Internet Mail Service but it must be restarted for the
changes to take effect.
Open the Windows Services Manager and Stop/Start the Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service.
Section C: Configure eXchange POP3.
Run eXchange POP3 and select:
