So I just installed IIS SMTP service on our web server to handle some ASP
scripting, etc that we need to do.  This computer is separate from our imail
server.  As soon as the service started on the web server ALL mail on our
network began to flow through it.  Since security was set to only allow
authenticated users to send mail it started returning every message.  I am
completely in the dark as to how this can happen.  We have a record for each
domain in the DNS server pointing mail.domain.com to the appropriate address
on the mail server.  We have an MX record specifying that name as the mail
server for each domain.  How can the other server forcefully begin
intercepting mail?  I didn't even know this was possible.  The kicker is
that when I attempted to send an email from my computer without changing my
configuration at all it got returned to me.  My computer is configured to
send mail through our Imail server, yet somehow my mail was returned to me
by the IIS server.  As soon as I stopped the SMTP service on the web server
everything went back to normal.  Please help!!
