I still don't see any reason to add a second smtp virtual server. You can still add authentication to your current VS. But hey, whatever works for ya. :-)

We have always told users who live off campus that they either need to use OWA or use their personal ISP account if they need smtp to send to non-college addresses. I have wanted to lift that restriction and go with allowing relay for authenticated users but I have always been met with a lot of resistence because it would mean that some folks would have to actually change something - once. Something about having a PHD apparently makes it difficult to change things. Anyway it just dawned on me (after only 2 1/2 years on the job) that I should be able to add a second virtual smtp server that allows relay for authenticated users and start moving folks over slowly while still maintaining the old one for "legacy" users. Thanks for the reply - I didnt think that it would be a problem but I wasnt sure. Server systems usually seem to have undocumented "features" waiting in the wings to give you a bad day so Im getting cautious... Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

To answer your question: all of my Exchange servers are multi-homed. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hague, Jeff Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 3:23 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Adding a second SMTP virtual server I want to add a second SMTP virtual server - Exch2K SP3, Win2K SP4, OWA and Exchange on same box - no FE/BE, etc. I am planning on adding a second IP address to the box for the new virtual server to use. Are there any strange issues I should be aware of when multihoming an Exchange server? I know its bad news on WINS servers and DCs but I haven't read anywhere that it is a bad plan for Exchange. I just thought Id ask the brightest before possibly crashing it... Thanks!
