I have configured my Server.  Now when I send a message it get's stuck in the
Outgoing SMTP queue.  in SBS2003, there is a setting in the SMTP properties
for "always Run", but I cannot find whee to edit SMTP connector properties
(OR POP3 Connector Properties, for that matter) in the 2008 Exchange System
Manager.  Please advise where to fins these settings or other advice.

Thanks

Are you sending out Via SMTP or DNS?

I believe i saw a setting for domain DNS in the hub transport, or something
like that.  I am installing over again to get a clean installation and apply
the various changes I found I needed after the first try.  Isn't there istill
a schedule setting for outgoing SMTP?

Also .. How do I access OWA from the SBS server?  localhost/exchange did not
work.

OWA is at: https://remote.publicdomain.com/owa

SBS 2k8 uses split DNS.
