Again ASSP is not an SMTP agent. You need to have it sitting in front of one. Outbound, you had exchange behind it, you need to have something on the other end. People usually either setup a secondary smtp agent or point it toward's their ISP's smtp server.

We recently setup a client using exchange as follows Internet-->ASSP-->Exchange And Exchange-->ASSP-->Internet We put ASSP in the outbound path to allow for the mail interface to work. For some reason, we could not get outbound to work unless we specified a smarthost in ASSP. Then all worked great. We can't figure out why! Ideas?

ASSP is not a mailserver it is only a proxy, which should be positioned before your server MD> 1. Does one need a smarthost for outbound mail? (Or can ASSP MD> handle sending direct to destination MTA) Your Server will send them directly. There is no need to pass them through ASSP. MD> 2. If ASSP listens on only 1 port , how can it distinguish between MD> incoming and outgoing SMTP actions? (Or does relay have to be set) ASSP listens only on the incomming. Normally even your users email will be subbmitted by SMTP. So the mailflow is like this: Incomming Mail: internet->assp->YourMailserver->UserMailbox Outgoing Client->assp->YourMailServer->Destination Matti -- Matti Haack - Hit Haack IT Service Gmbh Poltlbauer Weg 4, D-94036 Passau +49 851 50477-22 Fax: +49 851 50477-29 http://www.haack-it.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
