Hi -

 

I created a ticket for this problem, but thought I'd throw it out to see if anyone has suggestions.

 

I moved my SmarterMail 12 from a Cloud-based Win 2008 R2 server to a cloud Win 2012 R2 server. I followed exactly the knowledgebase article for moving servers, copying the xml and dat files, and c:\SmarterMail\Domains folder and sub-folders, after installing SmarterMail 12.3.5318. Since the new cloud server has 2 40GB SSD drives, I made the 2nd volume a folder in the C Drive called c:\Smartermail, to avoid having to change any configuration settings.

After changing the DNS to the new server's IP, I ran SmarterMail's self diagnostics, and everything Passed, including the folder permissions. I also used http://mxtoolbox.com to make sure all MX and SMTP settings were correct. All tests passed.

 

So, everything was fine as far as I could tell - I could do a web login for both admin and for my email account and everything appear normal. But I could not send or receive emails at all. At that point, I ran through the tests in the "Cannot Send/Receive Outgoing/Incoming Email Messages" KB articles - and again, everything passed.

 

I tried shutting off my Symantec Endpoint Protection to see if that was the problem and still no emails.

 

My firewall settings are the same as with my old server, so that doesn't appear to be the problem.

 

Something is getting through, as shown in the SM SMTP log (xxx.116.126.yyy is my IP):

And the POP log shows multiple entries like this:
[2014.08.11] 00:04:20 [xxx.116.126.yyy][36183213] connected at 8/11/2014 12:04:20 AM

But no emails appear in any Inbox.  And no sent emails going to a test Gmail account ever appear in the Gmail account, even though the sent email appears in my domain/user/sent folder.

 

If you could offer some suggestions to resolve this, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Neal
