Re: Relaying in 5.5 and 2k question
First of all, thank you for your input. I think that I am getting what I need taken care of for now. I will agree that sub-optimal is not the way to go but for the time being it is a satisfactory workaround. More than half of the legacy systems will not support any kind of authentication to my mail server. What we are deploying now will. The main problem I am facing is that this is to be done and now. My boss does not accept that since it works in 5.5 that it will not work in 2000. Again I am just looking at this as a workaround until we get our other system completed. I have never faced as much frustration as I have here. They have deployed systems that are to run 24/7 and collect data/ monitor interfaces and these systems are running windows 95. *ugh* I just want to scream sometimes. Again thanks for the information. I completely understand whar you are saying that its stupid to do it half-assed. But for now, I do not have much of a choice. _ 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]
Re: Relaying in 5.5 and 2k question
Ok[1], well no offense, but I'm not going to extend any effort in my lab trying to make what you want to happen work because sub-optimal was polite-speak for stupid. I'll point you to "Recipient Policies" and let you try and create it again if that's really the route you want to take. Did I mention you can enter subnets for routing as well? That might be a useful tidbit of information, now that 1 machine has become 312 or perhaps not. Beyond that, I still think the method you are currently using and seem bent on continuing to use is sub-optimal. Why not create a Contact in your GAL to represent this object with a secondary SMTP address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] [1] Why not just add the additional data to the existing thread?[2] [2] And not oversnip as was done here?

Re: Relaying in 5.5 and 2k question
Recreating the thread I felt I needed to do to make some things more clear than what I did earlier. To expand of my scenario, the remote PC is actually 312 remote PC's. So entering their IP addresses is not really an option. Suboptimal will do for now as we are in the process of writing software so that we can just send a single e-mail to our alert mailbox, then it will look at the alert for type and site, grab the e-mails from a database and send them out from there. But it seems that we need exchange 2k to write the software. But that part is out of my arena. I am just trying to get 2k to work as 5.5 does work now. _ 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]
Re: Relaying in 5.5 and 2k question
Starting a new thread on the same topic is probably not as useful as replying to the response(s) to your existing thread. Did you add the IP address of the machine in question as one allowed to relay through your server? The way you'd done it previously was sub-optimal. Rather trying to recreate a sub-optimal solution, why not concentrate on achieving the desired results through generally accepted methods?

Relaying in 5.5 and 2k question
In 5.5 I can set up in the routing tab of the IMS to reroute incoming SMTP mail, sent to whatever domain to relay, overriding relay restrictions even tho the mail is coming from another site. Where is this in 2k? I was able to see some things that were close but not quite what I needed and tinkering with them I could not get them to work. This functionality was perfect for our needs and I had to undo my upgrade last night because I was unable to duplicate this functionality. For some background here is my scenario. Have a pc in the field that if it sees an alarm state will send out e-mails. Normally it will just send to me here and all was fine but we needed to add other addresses like pagers, cell phones remote users in different domains etc. The last thing I want to to is make my server and open relay. Our config was fine since if someone wanted relay from my server it would reject it if it was not 1. ony my internal network or 2. sending mail to any of the domains listed in the routing table. _ 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]
