In Exchange you can set up a trusted adapter (IP address) that will accept SMTP directly into the mailserver either authenticated or unauthenticated.

This isn't my app. It's from their Corporate affiliate. However, I used to work for that Corporate entity at one time and as such, I recall vaguely the idea behind the code. It offered SMTP, MAPI, and Extended MAPI. I'm not sure at this time of writing what the client is using but will find out. So in short: this isn't code I can change. I am trying to make it work with the code from nearly 8 years ago.
