asabiski Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Ok so the panel is hooked up on my in-house network I assigned a static address of 192.168.16.99. I can ping the panel. I configured the Panel as a FTP server and I can use command line FTP and FileZilla to access the files. I configured the Panel as a VNC Server and loaded Real VNC Viewer on my pc and I can view the panel.... However ... When I try to configure email I get a -1 status back. I tried 2 accounts, one using my inhouse exchange server and 1 using gmail and I cannot send any email using either accounts to my local email address. Are there any log files or any debugging information available beyond the -1 ? For my inhouse Exchange Server I tried using both the FQDN and the ip address of my exchange server. I also tried adding to the DNS 8.8.8.8 settings. Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asabiski Posted February 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 OK So the plot thickens. I put a DNS Resolver ladder function in front of the Send Email function and no matter what hostname I put in, I tried remote.icsxxxxx.com and microsoft.com, I get a response of 9 no reply from server. For DNS Settings I have: 192.168.16.4 (from my pc) 8.8.8.8 I assume the no reply from server is from the DNS server, so if I can communicate to the panel via ftp, etc... why can I not talk to a DNS server.

asabiski Posted February 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 OK Fixed my problem with the DNS Resolver by replacing the #"microsoft.com" with a string tagname. I now can resolve the host name to an ip address using both my local dns server and google. Cannot yet get emails to work though. arrggh.

asabiski Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Ok I was finally able to send email to my local exchange server account using my local exchange server. Without getting into details, my problem was in the settings that I used in specifying the Account. A logfile would have saved me a lot of effort. The following link was instrumental in digging out the answers: Microsoft : Use Telnet to test SMTP communication on Exchange Servers Yea! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
