I'm trying to set up an email alert for an error I keep getting in my server's Application Log (not email related), so I set up a scheduled task to email me. It works great internally, when mailing from the admin account to itself, but if I try emailing the alert to an external address (my email address), it fails with an Last Run Result of 0x80040211. I looked up that error, and apparently it means "The message could not be sent to the SMTP server". Anyone know how to fix this? Server OS: Windows 2008 SBS Exchange 2007 Thanks! -Steve

It sounds like you need to configure a new Receive Connector on your Exchange 2007 Hub Transport server to allow SMTP relay from the server hosting the Application event log. Info on how to do that here: http://www.petri.co.il/authenticated-or-anonymous-smtp-relay-with-exchange-2007.htm Alexei

I just have the one server. Would I still need a new receive connector?
