  • Sending mail with Exchange

    December 13, 2012

    In certain cases, the USB software will not send email when using Exchange versions 2003-2012 as the SMTP server.

    This is generally fixed by removing any settings from the Username and Password fields, then clicking Save and Apply, and then testing the email once more.

    You will still need appropriate data in the SMTP server, email from and email to fields.

    Please note that this generally applies to internal Exchange servers using port 25 for their SMTP connector.
