Okay, I don't know about the technet article, but here's your checklist: Open the smtp virtual server's properties page. On the "access" page, authentication button, leave it set to allow anonymous. This allows you to get internet mail. On the same page, relay button, click "only the list below" and grant access by IP address, range, or domain name. (Double-check this: Are your criteria too broad?) If you have external SMTP clients, put a check in "allow all computers which authenticate..." so they can relay when they're on the road.\\
That's it. No more difficult than that. If you're still relaying after you're certain you've locked it down, create another virtual smtp server and delete the first, because something's very wrong. Except if you're me, in which case you'll start & stop the SMTP service 27 times, questioning your sanity. Oh, do you have a gateway filtering or antivirus product in place? Who is it that answers when I telnet to 213.177.134.28? That's not the standard Microsoft Exchange header. -tom -----Original Message----- From: Kim Schotanus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Thursday, February 14, 2002 8:40 AM Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List Conversation: open relay Subject: RE: open relay I have 1 smtp virtual server, 1 pop3 virtual server and no connectors... -----Original Message----- From: Tom Meunier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 14 February, 2002 3:35 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: open relay Are you talking about mail.intas.be? Yeah, it's open. How many E2k virtual servers do you have?
