Excuse me if this topic has been discussed before but I'm new to the group.


Here's our environment configuration:

***IIS 5.0 server running under local IUSR account with CDO 1.21 installed.
No Outlook installed, no SMTP service running.  This is the way we'd like to
keep it.

***Separate Exchange 5.5 server.

Our goal is to use CDO to send e-mail from a secure IIS server via the
Exchange server.  

>From what I've been able to dig up regarding the above environment
configuration it is only possible to send messages with Exchange via a
Windows NT domain account that Exchange is able to validate.  Because our
IIS machine is running under a local machine account, we are unable to use
CDO to interface with the Exchange machine.

We've tried to impersonate a domain user as outlined on 
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q248/1/87.asp without luck.

We've also verified that setting the IIS anonymous account to use a domain
account does in fact work.  We believe this to be a terribly insecure
configuration.  Is this incorrect?  Why would anyone allow an IIS box to run
under an NT domain account?  Are there any other options?

Thanks for your help,

Scott
