You should be using the Perl EXE file - the DLL is a bit unstable when used with UBB.classic.

Okay, so it seems that Perl is still being denied the ability to connect to the SMTP machine... Time to try from an outside source to be 110% sure. Do you have any other machines available to you (preferably a Unix-based machine as to also eliminate Windows from the problem list) that you can try a UBB install on?

I don't have any Unix based machines nor do I know anything about UNIX. Does anyone have a UNIX UBB test board that I can allow relay on my Exchange server to and see if it works?

Keep in mind I did try two other mail servers as well (they were both Exchange also though). Does anyone have a mail server that I can point to for testing?

I think from here, it'd be best if we picked this up in a support ticket. Chances are that your server is in-house, and we'd want to arrange proper access, etc.

In the ticket body, please include the URL to this topic ( http://www.ubbcentral.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/10/3079.html ) and a request that the ticket be assigned to me. Thanks!

Charles decided while working with me on a support ticket that this is a PERL issue, not an exchange issue. Is anyone using Windows 2003 for their UBB and using some type of E-mail notification? If so, what version of PERL are you using? Perhaps I need an older version of PERL?
