Outgoing Email Settings Not Updating - sharepoint-2007

I've been trying to update the From Address and Reply-to Address with a
new email address. The update appears to work, however, when an alert
is sent, SharePoint is still using the original email address. I've
tried several different addresses and the original email address is
always used. Has anybody experienced this before?

Sorry for the late response, but IIS needs to be restarted on your sharepoint server for those changes to take effect.

Reading the email forwarding address

This question is very closely related to Setting email forwarding address, except that I want to use Microsoft Graph to get a list of all users that have set up e-mail forwarding and where. I don't need to change the address.
Is it possible to read the e-mail forwarding settings? I tried by getting the mailboxSettings object, but it doesn't seem to contain this information.

I send email and receive error code

I am sending message to a partner via email I keep receiving this,
"Remote host said: 550 #5.1.0 address rejected [RCPT_TO]"
I need advise, please.
Thank you.
I know 3 cases in which server could answer like this
E-mail addres like that not exists or there is misprint in e-mail
Spam-filter is not accepting mail from your e-mail address (your address is marked like spam sender)
Problems with MX records on domain (if it's private e-mail server)
Knowing this options i recommend you to try this cases
Send from other e-mail address to check if the previous adrress is rejected by spam filter.(Maybe from other e-mail domain)
Send to another e-mail address on that server to check if it is a problem with server e-mail
If it is private server you should check problems with MX records(Use this tool like an option to check or Send a letter to e-mail server admin with your issue)
Have a nice time and i hope your problem will be solved.

Receiving forwarded emails via SendGrid

I want to use SendGrid to receive emails. Here is my scenario.
User A will send an email from user-a#example.com to User B at user-b#example.org
I've setup a rule so that emails received by User B are forwarded to c#example.net.
example.net is my domain and I have configured example.net in SendGrid to point to an MVC controller which will process the JSON posted by SendGrid.
Is this possible? I was able to receive one email but after that it stopped working. What went wrong? Can any one help me out?
The problem was solved via a different channel. The resolution can be found here: https://community.sendgrid.com/sendgrid/topics/receiving_forwarded_mails_send_grid
Through using a number of debug tools, including RequestBin and Runscope, the user found there was an error in their controller, rather than an error in forwarding or message parsing.
We were able to debug and find the problem which as you predicted was with our controller.
We are still testing by sending mails from various domains but have not come across any mail that is getting lost.

Emails not going from Mandrill to Gmail

I'm trying to send email from my app, emails seem to be going to mandrill correctly and there getting delivered, but I see nothing in my inbox.
I've even tried sending them through my domain and I'm still not getting them. I get them from my live website its using gmail but I want to switch
Using mxtoolbox.com I found
SMTP Reverse DNS Mismatch and
454 4.7.1 Relay access denied which could mean its been marked for spam?
It's sent through emails twice so I'm wondering if theres a time between emails sent or something.
When I was testing this I thought my emails where being dropped by gmail. I found that for some reason there was a very long lag going from Mandril to Gmail. I received all my tests about an hour after Mandril sent them. Hope this helps someone stuck like I was.
Found this question trying to diagnose my issue.
I am using Mandrill and found that sending emails from Mandrill to Gmail will take anywhere from 10 seconds to 15 minutes. Can't establish a reason why sometimes it takes longer.
Mandrill blocks certain domains from being the send address to prevent fraud, but as long as you're sending from an address you know exists to an address you know exists, you should be fine. Also, if that were the problem, the email would bounce rather than send. Also, some email services have policies that prevent you from doing things like sending an email to your address from your address from an external service. Based on that error message you provided, it could be something like that; I would check your provider's policies (and your spam folder).
Not an answer but if you look on your mandrill Outbound activity page and click on the green icon that says Delivered you should see that it says No smtp events.
I don't know why it doesn't send but this show that it hasn't sent.
Or should I say hasn't arrived where it was supposed to.
Update:
On further investigation I found out that the emails weren't sending because I was using my personal email address as the sender from_email: When I changed this to a more business sounding email address it worked. So make something up if you have to, like no-reply#nonsense.com

I can send an email from my Rails app, but not an SMS text through an email gateway

I have application that needs to send emails and sms text messages. It sends emails just fine, but when I try to send text messages using email gateways (for verizon, xxxyyyzzzz#vtext.com) I get nothing. I have texted the phone using though the email gateway using my gmail account, so I know it works. I would just think that from my app's point of view I am just sending out another email. Any idea why this doesn't work? Or what I can do to troubleshoot it?
I should also note that I am doing this from a Rails app on my local computer...not that it should matter.
Maybe Verizon has software that can identify emails sent from software rather than humans, and rejects yours?
Try making your software add all the same headers (eg. X-Mailer) that a normal email client would add.
Verizon could be doing a reverse DNS query as a simple spam check. Your ISP's info could show up during this look up instead of the return address info that your email message contains, and thus could be getting blocked.
To troubleshot this make sure that the return e-mail address that you are using is coming from an ISP e-mail account.
Here is how to debug it on Linux. Run your Rails application server with strace:
strace -s99999 -e connect,read,write,close -o strace.log script/server
Then examine strace.log and see exactly which SMTP server the Rails application connects to, and what it reads and writes.
Then do the same with your favorite mail client (recommended: mutt, because Thunderbird is slow in strace).
Try to send exactly the same bytes from Rails what your mail client sends.
I have used SMS_Fu in the past to send out text messages. It has worked wonderfully.
I have written a client app for Ruby for sending SMS, please see http://freebiesms.blogspot.com/2009/07/send-free-sms-from-ruby.html to download
complete source code.
