Been doing some work involving lists, workflow and reminders and cam across this great article on setting up workflow reminders. I had an issue with the ‘Pause Until Date’ wokflow command and testing it out. It just paused and did not go onto the next step.
I got around this by using the ‘Wait for Field to change’ command instead and used a different methodology. If anyone’s had issues with using the ‘Pause Until Date’ I’d like to here about it!
I have since found that this is an actual fault and is fixed in SP1
My setup is as follows: MOSS 2007 & Exchange 2003 (Domain: MOSS07.co.uk)
Most of the documentation I found talks about setting this function up in a lab environment with simple email functionality and it took me a while to piece it all together and get it working with Exchange 2003.
I followed most of the settings found in this excellent article How to configure Email Enabled Lists in Moss2007 RTM using Exchange 2007 . I could not get it to work using the automatic configuration (see step 3), so had to go down the manual route as described in the article.
Under Management Service settings (Step 3B in the article) I put in ‘Active Directory container where new distribution groups and contacts will be created’ settings OU=Sharepointdl,DC=MOSS07,DC=co,DC=uk and Servermoss07.moss07.co.uk in the ‘SMTP mail server for incoming mail settings’.
The thing I had to change was getting Exchange to forward emails destined for email@Servermoss07.moss07.co.uk to the MOSS server (Servermoss07) – it does state this in the troubleshooting section of the article. I did this by creating a new SMTP connector and putting the server name (Servermoss07.moss07.co.uk) in the ‘Address Space’ tab. Once I had created this mail started being delivered into the drop folder on the MOSS server.
