Can someone from Msft answer that question?

It's unclear from previous posts or from info on MSDN. On my system,
WSS's directory management service seems to fail trying to write to
the AD OU set up as described in the MSDN docs. I don't have Exchange
Server and this post seems to say a Exchange AD connector is required:

Thanks!

The answer to the subject is no you do not need exchange to email enable
libraries. But if you want to use the directory management service it
has been my experience that you will need to at least extend the AD
Schema with exchange. This will create the entries in AD.

Just Curios if you do not have exchange why do you want to use the WSS
directory management feature?

Thank you. Perhaps it's ignorance on my part, but I'd like site owners
to be able to specify the mail to address of the list. It's not clear
to me how that that works without turning directory management on.

Also, it would be nice to manage the names they are using (that
approve/reject thing in Central Admin). But, since I don't have it
working it's hard to know if that will work the way I think it should.

Can you just turn off directory managment in Central Admin, set the
alias for a list in list settings, and then just drop the email in c:
\inetpub\mailroot\drop? That didn't work for me -- SharePoint Timer
service posts an application error:

A critical error occurred while processing the incoming e-mail file C:
\Inetpub\mailroot\Drop\P3_20070406104647084300000001.eml. The error
was: Bad senders or recipients.

Thanks!

Here are a few things I would do\check

1. Don't use Directory Managment. I don't think you need it
2. under settings mode change to automatic
3. In IIS cnfigure the SMTP service to acccept mail for the domain you
are sending to. For example gmail.com if the smtp service is not setup
to accept mail for your domain then this will not work.
4. Once this is configured create a list and email enable the list. So
the email for this list would look something like this list1(a)gmail.com
5. Make sure you have an MX record pointing to the sharepoint server.

Thanks,

When I do that, I get the following error from the SharePoint Timer
service when email comes in:

A critical error occurred while processing the incoming e-mail file C:
\Inetpub\mailroot\Drop\P3_20070409144123051500000001.eml. The error
was: Bad senders or recipients..

Any ideas?
