Incoming Mail with Sharepoint 2007 and Exchange Server

I have a test environment that consist of one server with Exchange and Sharepoint 2007. Is there a way to test incoming mail or do I need a second Test server. It appears as though I need to have smtp services running too. Any Ideas

    Unfortunately this is not possible as both Exchange and the local SMTP service will want to use port 25. I would suggest installing sharepoint on a seperatetest server.

    steve, can you point me in the right direction re: this subject. I am trying to find an install guide or details on enabling incoming email but cannot find a formal doc from MS.

    My exchange guys will not modify Exchange ( add the smtp connector) without extrememly detailed documentation.

    Thanks

    Hi Joe , this is a whitepaper that I wrote on configuring incoming mail using Exchange 2003 but without creating an SMTP connector. It worked for me but I know in some companies they have such a complex routing mechanism for mail flow that sometimes you just need to create a specific one for Moss E-Mail. One reason might be that they send mail to a DMZ mail server and that does not know how to route it to the Moss Server. Anyway take a look at the whitepaper and see if it helps you.
