Exchange has the ability to do authenticated relay, but if you use the IIS smtp service instead, you'll avoid all cost and exchange routing issues, because you'll only have 1 route as far as exchange is concerned.
To turn on relay for the IMS go to the routing tab, click the Routing Restrictions tab and check "hosts and clients that sucessfully authenticate" Then the clients will have to specify in their client software to authenticate to their outgoing mail server, but IMO it beats the heck out of an unpublished open relay. -Jim -----Original Message----- From: Hansen, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 7:40 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: IMS Costs yes sir, you are correct sir. i do havve a open non published relay, this was the suggested way to go per this list about 2 years ago. Its a weird setup, i know. Stupid mobile users, we dont need sales reps do we? you mentioned "Authenticated Relay", wow that sounds yummy. is this something i would need a iis smtp service for or does Exchange have the ability to do "authenticated relay"? much thanks for the feedback people! e- _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ====================================================================================== NOTICE - This communication may contain confidential and privileged information that is for the sole use of the intended recipient.
