About Moss incoming email settings-[Sharepoint Server]

In Chapter 2007 of Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 14th installation illustration, section 2nd describes how to create input email settings for moss. This section is based on the course series of teacher Cao zusheng.

The incoming email address cannot be the same as any existing Email system address. Otherwise, the system will not be able to receive emails.

Therefore, in the installation diagram, I also created a: moss.com

However, the specific role of this setting is still unclear.

When I tested the document library yesterday, I found a related setting:

When creating a document library, there is an option "incoming email", which indicates whether to allow the project to be added to this document library by email. You can use the specified email address to send emails directly to the document library.

If we select allow and set the relevant email address for the document library

Users can directly send documents to the specified email address to upload documents.

The email address must be the moss.com address mentioned above.

I will summarize the specific operations of the document library and then send them up again. I don't know what will be related to the incoming email settings. I will record any findings in the future.
