The other day I was totally playing around with configuring SharePoint to recieve emails. I totally went to town with with configuring Virtual Server (VS), Creating a Private Network within VS, and setting up MOSS Virtual Machine (VM) and Exchange/DC VM. For some reason I couldnt get far. I see the messages I send in Exchange's queue, and on the MOSS box in IIIS under SMTP Sessions I see a session with the Exchange box. But thats it, my lists dont recieve the emails I send.
Anyways enough of my ranting,
Lawrence Liu previously pointed out that were 4 new SharePoint screencasts.
One of them is "Configuring SharePoint to Recieve Emails". Need to try this simple approach and see if I have more luck.
