Is it possible to setup Project Server in the way when it send
notifications through Microsoft Exchange Server instead of (togethe
with) SMTP?

Thanks in advance

Hi Matvey,

I'm not too sure what you mean when you say "...through Microsoft
Exchange Server instead of (together with) SMTP?", because Exchange uses
the SMTP protocol to send mail

The big thing with Project Server is that if you use other mail server
products such Lotus Notes, Novell Groupwise, or Sendmail, etc. it
doesn't care. As long as it can send email over SMTP it's a happy
camper.

In fact it will work with the no frills Windows Server POP3 Mail Service

Good Luck

Sorry if I did not clearly describe my problem.

The situation is the following:
If SMTP is switched off on SMTP it uses some MAPI protocol (Microsof
native). Sorry, MS Exchange is not my strong side so I don't kno
details.
I just know that SMTP/POP3 does not work on our server and we use M
Outlook for mail send/receive.

As I know other servers optionaly allow sending notifications throug
MAPI.
For correct communication with MS Exchange they use MAPI profile.

So the question is:
Is it possible to organize such configuration on MSPS?

Thanks

Hi Matvey,

Sorry for the bad news, but...
No SMTP server = No Project Server notifications

The most important aspect of communications between Project Server and
Exchange is that the Project Server IP Address is allowed to relay mail
through exchange. This is configured on the Exchange server.
