Does anyone see a problem with this?
Not at all. It makes perfect sense to use the MS SMTP box as your
outbound gateway and take the load off your mailbox server. That's
just following best practices.
That really only answers half the question. Unless I mis-read, Aaron was using the MS/Smtp as an inbound gateway as well, and a dictionary attack caused grief, since the MS server simply accepted all the e-mails and then tried to deliver them to i-Mail, which rejected them, causing a flood of outbound bouces.
This is something I've pondered. Is there a good way to use MS/SMTP as an inbound gateway.
