Incoming Email Setting in Sharepoint

Question

Hi,
I have set up an incoming email in my sharepoint but my lists cannot get emails and whenever i try to give email address to my lists it says application error.
In Timer Job Definitions Windows SharePoint Services Incoming E-Mail  the web application field is NA. But in my central administration I have set up the incoming email well. I can't figure it out what is wrong

I would recommend you to check the following nice white paper on how to configure SharePoint Server 2007 for inbound email to lists.  You can download the paper here:How to configure Email Enabled Lists in Moss2007 RTM using Exchange 2007

Answer 2

Hi,

 

Did you install SMTP service on your MOSS server?

 

Are the setting mode is automatic or advanced? If it is advanced, change to automatic.

 

Did you enable Directory Management Service? If so, check whether the application pool account for the SharePoint central administration web site has create, delete and manage user accounts right to the container in the Active Directory directory service.

 

Check whether the application account for central administration, the logon account for the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service, and the application pool accounts for your web application have correct permissions to the e-mail drop folder.

 

Did you configure MX record for your MOSS server in DNS? If not, configure correct MX record for your MOSS server and check the effect.

 

If you use Exchange server, you can refer to the following articles:
