Title: Stuck in Multi-Drop?
Post by: Levien van Zon on April 02, 2003, 07:43:10 PM

This afternoon I tried to switch our SME 5.6 server from multi-drop to ETRN e-mail retrieval using the server-manager, but to my great surprise the only option offered by the manager was multi-drop retrieval!  I know for a fact that switching between retrieval modes worked just fine before I upgraded to 5.6 (we were using 5.0 before), so has anyone got a clue as to what could have happened here?

Regards,
Levien

Your server is in "private" server and gateway mode. Since it ignores all inbound connection attempts, it can't receive SMTP mail (ETRN just triggers SMTP deliveries).
