Too many generalities. First, what kind of cost are we talking about? Exchange routing or Mx record? If it's the former, cost is one of the last things evaluated in determining message routing, so a cost of 1 or 100 probably doesn't make too much difference at this point.
Next: What's the objective of "Accept Connections: Authenticated", and where exactly have you made this change? You've configured the Outlook client to authenticate for SMTP? Have you read any of the articles mentioned here: http://www.mail-resources.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&; sid=156 (link will wrap) -----Original Message----- From: Hansen, Eric To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 6/14/2002 3:48 PM Subject: Dev IMS - routing problems Sorry to revisit this. In light of my last post 'IMS Costs'(thanks for all the help btw) I setup a Dev Exchange Server and put IMS on it and joined it to my site. I have told the server to 'Accept Connections: Authenticated" and gave it a cost of 100. Then I plug in a machine outside my firewall and use outlook to SMTP/pop in with authentication. I can send email to people in the company. I cant send email to people on the internet, comes back 550 relay denied? Is there a way around this? I need to keep the relay up but if I cant send email to internet addresses its pointless. I must be missing something somewhere. Much thanks 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]
