SYMPTOMS
After you change the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server to the default SMTP server by using the repair functionality in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0, Microsoft Dynamics CRM does not use the default SMTP server to send e-mail messages. This problem occurs if you selected an SMTP server that is not the default SMTP server when you installed the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server components.



CAUSE
The problem occurs because the settings that point to the previous server are retained in the registry.



RESOLUTION
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:  Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. Locate the following registry subkey:

 Delete the following registry entries under that registry subkey:  SMTPAuthenticate SMTPServer SMTPServerPort</li> SMTPUseSSL</li></ul> </li></ol>
