The SA
machine would act as a "client" to the SMTP servers.The SMTP port on the SA
machine won't be open. In fact the same way Servers Alive now sends mail
to the "fixed" SMTP server (you defined within the setup), will be used but then
to the "correct" SMTP server (based on the MX record of the TO
domain).

Subject: RE: [SA-list] Direct mail sending (without an "internal" SMTP server)Agreed...currently, I am using my ISP's mail server, and figure that sooner or later they will lock it down for relaying, and that will require that I either setup a dedicated machine with IIS and smtp...or find another solution...what Dirk is proposing sounds rather elegant, as long as you can do it securely.Tell me, would this built-in smtp create any new security issues...could it make box we run SA on be available for other folks to use as a mail relay point?-----Original Message-----

Yes, I would like to see something like this. I can't use our main Lotus Notes server because it won't allow relaying, so I have an SMTP server running on the Servers Alive machine. This requires running parts of IIS, which I am not happy about. If you could incorporate mail functionality (CDONTS or CDOSYS?) into Servers Alive, I could get rid of SMTP and IIS.

Sending mail directly to the destination SMTP server is that something that
is interesting for you guys?
(with that we mean that instead of sending the mail to your smtp server who
will relay it to the destination SMTP server, we would directly connect to
the destination server (based on the MX record of the TO of the mail) and
send it).
